He made the way before them plain, Himself became their Guide; He brought them to a city strong Wherein they might abide. 3 O praise the Lord, ye sons of men, For all His goodness shown; O praise Him for the wondrous works To you He has made known. The longing soul that turns to Him He fully satisfies; He fills with good each hungering one That for His mercy cries. Scripture: Psalm 107 Used With Tune: GOSHEN
