Praise the Lord, for He is Good

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #225 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Longing for God or Christ Lyrics: 1 Praise the Lord, for He is good, For His mercies ever sure From eternity have stood, To eternity endure; Let His ransomed people raise Songs to their Redeemer's praise. 2 From captivity released, From the south and from the north, From the west and from the east, In His love He brought them forth, Ransomed out of every land From the adversary's hand. 3 Wandering in the wilderness Far they roamed the desert way, Found no settled dwelling-place Where in peace secure to stay, Till with thirst and hunger pressed Courage sank within their breast. 4 To Jehovah then they cried In their trouble, and He saved; He Himself became their Guide, Led them to the rest they craved By a pathway straight and sure, To a city strong, secure. 5 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Longing souls He satisfies, Hungry hearts with good supplies. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English Tune Title: HALLE

Great God, indulge my humble claim

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #439 (1917) Topics: Longing For God Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my humble claim, Be Thou my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose Thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, Thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God; And I am Thine, by sacred ties, Thy son, Thy servant, bought with blood. 3 With fainting heart, and lifted hands, For Thee I long, to Thee I look; As travellers in thirsty lands Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 Should I from Thee, my God, remove, Life could no lasting bliss afford: My joy, the sense of pardoning love; My guard, the presence of my Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise; This work shall make my heart rejoice, And fill the circle of my days.

I hunger now, I thirst for God: now this poor sinner's life renew, and satisfy with endless peace, and fill me with your righteousness. 4 Shine on your work, disperse the gloom, light in your light I'll see anew: say to my soul, 'Your light is come, glory divine is risen on you, your warfare's done, your mourning's past; look up, your tears shall end at last!'
