51. Witness-Bearing and Grateful Praise

1 Amid the thronging worshipers
Jehovah will I bless;
Before my brethren, gathered here
His Name will I confess.
Come, praise Him, ye that fear the Lord,
Ye children of His grace;
With rev'rence sound His glories forth
And bow before His face.

2 The burden of the sorrowful
The Lord will not despise;
He has not turned from those that mourn,
He hearkens to their cries.
His goodness makes me join the throng
Where saints His praise proclaim,
And there will I fulfill my vows
'Mid those who fear His Name.

3 He feeds with good the humble soul
And satisfies the meek,
And they shall live and praise the Lord
Who for His mercy seek.
The ends of all the earth take tho't,
The nations seek the Lord;
They worship Him, the King of kings,
In earth and heav'n adored.
