Thank and Praise Jehovah's Name

Author: Montgomery Appears in 111 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thank and praise Jehovah's name; For his mercies, firm and sure, From eternity the same, To eternity endure. Let the ransomed thus rejoice, Gathered out of every land, As the people of his choice, Plucked from the destroyer's hand. 2 In the wilderness astray, Hither, thither, while they roam, Hungry, fainting by the way, Far from refuge, shelter, home,— Then unto the Lord, they cry; He inclines a gracious ear, Sends deliverance from on high, Rescues them from all their fear. 3 To a pleasant land he brings, Where the vine and olive grow, Where from flowery hills the springs Through luxuriant valleys flow. Oh, that men would praise the Lord For his goodness to their race; For the wonders of his word, And the riches of his grace. Used With Tune: [Thank and praise Jehovah's name]

Kindly to our worship bow, While our grateful thanks we tell, That, sustained by thee, we now Bid the parting year--farewell! 2 All its numbered days are sped, All its busy scenes are o'er, All its joys for ever fled, All its sorrows felt no more. Mingled with the eternal past, Its remembrance shall decay; Yet to be revived at last At the solemn judgment-day. 3 All our follies, Lord, forgive! Cleanse us from each guilty stain; Let thy grace within us live, That we spend not years in vain. Then, when life's last eve shall come, Happy spirits, may we fly To our everlasting home, To our Father's house on high! Used With Tune: St. George
