Pleasant Praise

Tune: Hanover

('O worship the King')

Psalm 33 v.1-11

*********

Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, for praise

Is comely, beautiful, here anthems raise

Praise the Lord with voices, and instruments play

Sing to Him a new song, whether night or day

 

Play skilfully with a loud noise, with art

Each one contribute, taking a full part

For the word of the Lord is right, His works all

Are done in truth, trusting Him you shall not fall

 

He loves righteousness and justice, the earth

is full of His goodness, give Him His worth

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made

By the breath of His mouth, creation displayed

 

He gathers up the waters of the sea

Lays them is storehouses, great deep be

Let all the earth fear the Lord, here stand in awe

For He spake, it was done, lasting evermore

 

For at His command all things do sure stand

Heathen's counsel brought to nought in each land

But His counsel stands for ever, He the Lord

His thoughts to all generations, true His word

    Will you like this Gold? The hymn was written by a governor/politician type person, inspired by Psalm 104. Hopefully not the usual 'When a politician opens their mouth.....'
