The Psalter ‎#304

304. The Marvelous Works of God

1 O give the Lord wholehearted 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 covenant sure no change can know;
Let all revere His holy Name
In heaven above and earth below.

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