Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The Hymnal #7b (1956) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord! 'Tis good to raise
Your hearts and voices in his praise;
His nature and his works invite
To make this duty our delight.
2 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames,
He counts their numbers, calls their names;
His wisdom’s vast and knows no bound,
A deep where all our thoughts are drowned.
3 Sing to the Lord! Extol him high
Who spreads his clouds along the sky;
There he prepares the fruitful rain,
Nor lets the drops descend in vain.
4 He makes the grass the hills adorn,
And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
The beasts with food his hands supply,
And the young ravens when they cry.
5 His saints are lovely in his sight;
He views his children with delight;
He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
He looks and loves his image here. Topics: Adoration and Praise General Praise; God Creator; God Love of; God in Nature; Hope; Giving Thanks; Wisdom, God's, Man's Scripture: Psalm 148 Languages: English Tune Title: PRAISE
