LyicsPRAISE ye the Lord! 'tis good to raise
Our hearts and voices in His praise;
His nature and His works invite
To make this duty our delight.
Great is the Lord! and great His might,
And all His glories infinite;
His wisdom vast, and knows no bound--
A deep where all our thoughts are drown'd.
He loves the meek, rewards the just,
Humbles the wicked in the dust;
Melts and subdues the stubborn soul,
And makes the broken spirit whole.
His saints are precious in His sight;
He views His children with delight;
He sees their hope, He knows their fear,
Approves and loves His image there.
