Lyics

PRAISE waits for thee in Zion, Lord:

To thee vows paid shall be.

O thou that hearer art of pray'r,

All flesh shall come to thee.



Since better is thy love than life,

My lips thee praise shall give.

I in thy name will lift my hands,

And bless thee while I live.



Bless'd is the man whom thou dost choose,

And mak'st approach to thee,

That he within thy courts, O Lord,

May still a dweller be:



We surely shall be satisfy'd

With thy abundant grace,

And with the goodness of thy house,

Ev'n of thy holy place.



O God of our salvation,

Thou in thy righteousness,

By fearful works unto our pray'rs

Thine answer dost express:



Therefore the ends of all the earth,

And those afar that be

Upon the sea, their confidence,

O Lord, will place in thee.
