Tune: Darwall
(\'Rejoice, the Lord is King\')
Psalm 147 v.1-7
***********
Hallelujah, now praise
The LORD, His name upraise
For it is good to sing
To Him, our God and King
For it is pleasant, and praise be
Comely, lovely in its beauty
The LORD He does build sure
His city evermore
Jerusalem it be
He gathers outcasts, see
He heals the broken in heart, true
Binds up their wounds, sorrows anew
He counts numbers of stars
he sets earth\'s frames and bars
He calls stars all by name
The LORD, who made the same
Creator of all e\'er He be
Each star, planet, and galaxy
Great is our Lord, and He
Too of great power be
His understanding is
Infinite, true is this
His thoughts innumerable, so
Humans cannot Him fully know
He lifts up meek, humble
They trust Him, on Him call
He casts wicked to ground
Their ways shall not abound
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving
All voices and instruments bring
