The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4863

4863. O Give the Lord Whole-Hearted Praise

1. O give the Lord whole-hearted praise,
To Him thanksgiving I will bring;
With all His people I will raise
My voice and of His glory sing.

2. His saints delight to search and trace
His mighty works and wondrous ways;
Majestic glory, boundless grace,
And righteousness His work displays.

3. The wondrous works that God has wrought
His people ever keep in mind;
His works with grace and mercy fraught,
Revealing that the Lord is kind.

4. God’s promise shall forever stand,
He cares for those who trust His Word;
Upon His saints His mighty hand
The wealth of nations has conferred.

5. His works are true and just indeed,
His precepts are forever sure;
In truth and righteousness decreed,
They shall forevermore endure.

6. From Him His saints’ redemption came;
His cov’nant sure no change can know;
Let all revere His holy name
In Heav’n above and earth below

7. In reverence and godly fear
Man finds the gate to wisdom’s ways;
The wise His holy name revere;
Through endless ages sound His praise.
