Appears in 250 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 778 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: Sweet is the work, my God, my King Lyrics: Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks and sing, To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night. Sweet is the day of sacred rest, No mortal cares shall seize my breast; O may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound! My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word; Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels! how divine! Fools never raise their thoughts so high; Like brutes they live, like brutes they die; Like grass they flourish, till thy breath Blast them in everlasting death. But I shall share a glorious part When grace hath well refined my heart; And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil, to cheer my head. Sin (my worst enemy before) Shall vex my eyes and ears no more; My inward foes shall all be slain, Nor Satan break my peace again. Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 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.

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.

Psalm 92 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15 First Line: Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand Lyrics: Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand In gardens planted by thine hand; Let me within thy courts be seen, Like a young cedar, fresh and green. There grow thy saints in faith and love, Blest with thine influence from above; Not Lebanon with all its trees Yields such a comely sight as these. The plants of grace shall ever live; (Nature decays, but grace must thrive;) Time, that doth all things else impair, Still makes them flourish strong and fair. Laden with fruits of age, they show The Lord is holy, just, and true; None that attend his gates shall find A God unfaithful or unkind.

Psalm 92: To render thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: To render thanks unto the Lord Lyrics: 1To render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing, And to thy name, O thou most High, due praise aloud to sing. 2Thy loving-kindness to shew forth when shines the morning light; And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure ev’ry night. 3On a ten-stringed instrument, upon the psaltery, And on the harp with solemn sound, and grave sweet melody. 4For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works hast made my heart right glad; And I will triumph in the works which by thine hands were made. 5How great, Lord, are thy works! each thought of thine a deep it is: 6A brutish man it knoweth not; fools understand not this. 7When those that lewd and wicked are spring quickly up like grass, And workers of iniquity do flourish all apace; It is that they for ever may destroyed be and slain; 8But thou, O Lord, art the most High, for ever to remain. 9For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, thine en’mies perish shall; The workers of iniquity shall be dispersed all. 10But thou shalt, like unto the horn of th’ unicorn, exalt My horn on high: thou with fresh oil anoint me also shalt. 11Mine eyes shall also my desire see on mine enemies; Mine ears shall of the wicked hear that do against me rise. 12But like the palm-tree flourishing shall be the righteous one; He shall like to the cedar grow that is in Lebanon. 13Those that within the house of God are planted by his grace, They shall grow up, and flourish all in our God’s holy place. 14And in old age, when others fade, they fruit still forth shall bring; They shall be fat, and full of sap, and aye be flourishing; 15To shew that upright is the Lord: he is a rock to me; And he from all unrighteousness is altogether free.

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own almighty wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done, That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3 Teach me to live that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. Teach me to die that so I may Rise glorious at the awe-full Day. 4 Oh, may my soul in Thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close, Sleep that shall me more vig'rous make To serve my God when I awake! 5 When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heav'nly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No pow'rs of darkness me molest. 6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

You make me glad; I sing your praise for all your wondrous works and ways. 3 Though as the grass the wicked grow, those evildoers do not know the endless ruin they will see.

With your anointing I am blest; your grace and favor on me rest. My eyes have seen the wicked die; my ears have heard their hopeless cry. 5 The righteous all will flourish well and in the house of God will dwell.
