Tune: Hanover
('O worship the King')
*********
'Tehillah'* (*Hebrew), it the singing of hallels
To sing or to laud, how every tongue tells
With music, thanksgiving, songs of the Spirit
To the Lord, our pathway of life He has lit
Psalm 22 v.3; Psalm 33 v.1
The Lord is holy, he that inhabits
The praises of Israel, on Hi throne sits
Rejoice in the Lord, all you righteous for e'er
Fro praise is beautiful, the upright it share
Psalm 34 v.1
I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise
Shall continually be my aim all days
With my mouth I shall bless Him, He always true
He shall come to me and shall my strength renew
Psalm 147 v.1-2
Praise you the lord, for it is good to sing
Praises to our God, we rest 'neath His wing
For it is pleasant, and the Lord does upbuild
The outcasts, and He defends them with His shield
1 Chronicles 16 v.35
Save us, O God of our salvation, you
Gather us together, deliver, do
Rescue us from heathen, that thanks we may give
To your holy name and praise you while we live
Deuteronomy 10 v.21
The Lord is our praise, He acted from old
Your people have e'er recounted, retold
Brought them out of Egypt, they crossed the Red Sea
Your great, terrible, awesome works did they see
Isaiah 61 v.3
Unto those who mourn, He gives them beauty
In place of ashes, they glorious be
Oil of joy for mourning, and garment of praise
To those heavy-hearted, He does them up raise

Good one Orchi, but at present I find that last line questionable.
Thanks Gold. The last stanza is from one of my favourite verses. Yet I find I may question it too at times. Is it a conscious choice to praise, be thankful, etc sometimes? Maybe the video will be comforting in some way?
Nicely assembled
Bravo yet again my morning worship is fulfilled
Thnks Orchi
Thanks ACF.
