Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Life Stages Orphans; Life Stages Widows Lyrics: 1 Praise the LORD! Sing hallelujah! Come, our great Redeemer praise. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days. Put no confidence in princes, nor on human help depend. They shall die, to dust returning; all their thoughts and plans shall end. 2 Happy are the ones professing Jacob's God to be their aid. They are blest whose hope of blessing on the LORD their God is stayed. Heaven and earth the LORD created, seas and all that they contain. He delivers from oppression; righteousness he will maintain. 3 Food he daily gives the hungry, sets the mourning prisoner free, raises those bowed down with anguish, makes the sightless eyes to see. God our Savior loves the righteous, and the stranger he befriends, helps the orphan and the widow, judgment on the wicked sends. 4 Praise the LORD! Sing hallelujah! Come, our great Redeemer praise. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days. Over all God reigns forever; through all ages he is King. Unto him, your God, O Zion, joyful hallelujahs sing. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: [Praise the LORD, sing hallelujah] Text Sources: Psalter, 1887, alt.

Unless the Lord Constructs the House

Author: Mollie Knight Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Life Stages Family Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord constructs the house, the builders work in vain; the Lord alone designs and builds foundations that remain. 2 Unless the Lord is keeping watch, the city cannot stand; the sentry guards the gates in vain without God's mighty hand. 3 In vain you labor night and day, by constant care oppressed; the Lord supplies your loved ones' needs and grants them sleep and rest. 4 The Lord designed the family, providing earthly love; our children are God's heritage - a gift from heaven above. 5 Like weapons in a warrior's hand are those who bear our name; with them we face a hostile world assured and free from shame. Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
