It Is Good To Praise Th' Almighty

Author: Susan H. Peterson Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: It is good to praise th’ Almighty Lyrics: 1 It is good to praise th’Almighty And make music to Your name; To proclaim Your love each morning, And each night Your faithful reign. Add the music of the lyre, Let the harp lift up its voice. For You make me glad, my Father, At Your works I now rejoice. 2 O how great your works, O Lord God, How profound Your thoughts toward man. Senseless men can never fathom, Fools can never understand That although the wicked flourish, Like the grass that sprouts in spring, They will be destroyed forever, When You come to judge all things. 3 You, O Lord, exalted ever Over all Your enemies, Some day they will surely perish, Scattered and brought to their knees. But you’ve made me strong and sturdy, You’ve refreshed me by Your care. I have seen my adversaries Vanquished and left in despair. 4 See the righteous, like a palm tree, Or a cedar towering high, Planted in the Lord’s own garden, They will flourish and not die. In old age they’ll still be fruitful, Vital, stalwart, and robust, Saying e’er, "The Lord is upright, He’s my rock, in Him I trust." Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY

Let the World Their Virtue Boast

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let the world their virtue boast, Their works of righteousness, I, a wretch undone and lost, Am freely saved by grace; Other title I disclaim; This, only this, is all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. 2. I, like Gideon’s fleece, am found Unwatered still, and dry, While the dew on all around, Falls plenteous from the sky; Yet my Lord I cannot blame, The Savior’s grace for all is free: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. 3. Surely He will lift me up, For I of Him have need; I cannot give up my hope, Though I am cold and dead; To bring fire on earth He came; O that it now might kindled be! I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me. 4. Jesus, Thou for me hast died, And Thou in me wilt live; I shall feel Thy death applied, I shall Thy life receive; Yet, when melted in the flame Of love, this shall be all my plea: I the chief of sinners am, But Jesus died for me.
