Tune: Nettleton
('Come thou fount of every blessing')
********
Psalm 146 v.1-2
Praise the LORD, O my soul, Him praise
Unto Him joyful songs raise
While I live I will praise the LORD
He faithful, true to His word
While I have any being I
Shall myself to Him ally
And still praise Him, He my God sure
Even now and evermore
Psalm 145 v.8-10
The LORD gracious, with compassion
Kindly looks upon each one
Slow to anger, of great mercy
And good unto all is He
All your works, O LORD, shall praise you
Your saints shall bless you anew
Here we find your welcome waiting
Songs of praises to you sing
Psalm 147 v.5-6
Great the LORD is, and He of great
Power, recedes not one hour
His understanding infinite
Dwells in endless realms of light
The LORD sees, does lift up the meek
Those humble, they do Him seek
But wicked He casts to the ground
No blessing for them is found
Psalm 150 parts
Praise the LORD in [His] sanctuary
Praise Him earth and sea and sky
For He has created all things
Will accept the praise each brings
Praise Him each instrument in tune
And with voices day, night, noon
All that has breath, all things living
Hallelujah, to Him sing!
