Lyics

PRAISE you the Lord! Our God to praise,

My soul her utmost power shall raise;

With private friends, and in the throng

Of saints, his praise shall be my song.



His works for greatness though renown'd,

His wondrous works with ease are found

By those who seek for them aright,

And in the pious search delight.



His works are all of matchless fame,

And universal glory claim;

His truth, confirm'd through ages past,

Shall to eternal ages last.



By precepts he has us enjoin'd

To keep his wondrous works in mind;

And to posterity record

That good and gracious is the Lord.
