*********

Chorus

On that men would give thanks and praise

To the LORD, His name upraise

Praise Him for His greatness and for

His wondrous works shown us sure

 

Let them praise in congregation

All peoples of each nation

He turns waters to wilderness

Water-springs turns to dryness - Chorus

 

Fruitful land turned to barrenness

It be for he wickedness

Of them that dwell therein, they not

Serve the LORD, and sad their lot - Chorus

 

But for the righteous, wilderness

Does He turn to pools, does bless

Turns dry ground into water-springs

Nature with His people sings - Chorus

 

There the hungry dwell, He does make

Them to be filled for His sake

Live in the city and sow fields

And vineyards their increase yields - Chorus

 

He blesses them with abundance

The His presence near do sense

Gives prosperity, they there thrive

Glad in him to be alive - Chorus
