Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Praise of God Lyrics: 1 It is good to sing your praises and to thank you, O Most High, showing forth your loving kindness when the morning lights the sky. It is good when night is falling of your faithfulness to tell, while with sweet, melodious praises songs of adoration swell. 2 You have filled my heart with gladness through the works your hands have wrought; you have made my life victorious; great your works and deep your thought. You, O Lord, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from your sight. 3 But the good shall live before you, planted in your dwelling place, fruitful trees and ever verdant, nourished by your boundless grace. In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God, my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all your ways.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Praise of God Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now; and with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way– lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share." Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: BEECHER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.

Make known his might, the deeds his arm has done; his mercy sure, from age to age the same; his holy name -- the Lord, the mighty one. 3 Tell out, my soul, the greatness of his might! Powers and dominions lay their glory by; proud hearts and stubborn wills are put to flight, the hungry fed, the humble lifted high. 4 Tell out, my soul, the glories of his word! Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure. Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord to children's children and forevermore!
