Lyics

PRAISE you the Lord, our hearts shall join

In work so pleasant, so divine:

Our days of praise shall ne'er be past

While life and time and thought shall last.



Happy the man whose thoughts rely

On Israel's God, who made the sky,

And earth, and seas, and all their train--

He shall not find his promise vain.



His truth forever stands secure;

He saves the oppressed--he feeds the poor:

He helps the stranger in distress--

The widow and the fatherless.
