Praise God! 'tis good and pleasant

Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God! 'tis good and pleasant, and comely to adore, Jehovah builds up Salem, her outcasts doth restore. 2 He heals the broken-hearted, and makes the wounded live; the starry hosts he numbers, and names to all doth give, 3 Our Lord is great and mighty; his wisdom none can know; the Lord doth raise the lowly and sinners overthrow. 4 O thank and praise Jehovah! Praise hi on harp with mirth, the heaven with clouds who covers, and send his rain on earth. 5 He clothes with grace the mountains, and gives the beasts their food; he hears the crying ravens, and feeds their tender brood. 6 In horse's strength delights not, nor speed of man loves he; the Lord loves all who fear him, and to his mercy flee. 7 O Salem, praise Jehovah, thy God, O Zion, praise; for he thy gates has strengthened, and blessed thy sons with grace. 8 With peace he'll bless thy borders, the finest wheat afford; he send forth his commandment, and swiftly speeds his word. 9 Like wool the snow he giveth, spreads hail o'er all the land, hoar-frost like ashes scatters; who can his cold withstand? 10 Then forth his word he sendeth, he makes his wind to blow; the snow and ice are melted, again the waters flow. 11 He shows his word to Jacob, to Israel's seed alone; his statutes and his judgments the heathen have not known. Praise ye the Lord! Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: CHRISTUS DER IST MEIN LEBEN (BREMEN)

Come, Sing a Song of Harvest

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, sing a song of harvest, Of thanks for daily food! to offer God the firstfruits Is old as gratitude. 2 Shall we, sometimes forgetful Of where creation starts, View science as our savior, Lose wonder from our hearts? 3 May God, the great Creator, To whom all life belongs, Accept these gifts we offer, Our service and our songs. 4 And lest the world go hungry While we ourselves are fed, Make each of us more ready To share our daily bread.

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: I. Christ is my Light and Treasure; In Death he is my Life; Through him I leave with Pleasure This World of Sin and Strive. II. With Joy my Soul is ready To meet my Brother CHRIST: Our Union shall be steady, Our Love rais'd to the high'st. III. World, Sin and their Temptation Are conquer'd by his Blood; His Death seal'd my Salvation With my forgiving God. IV. When all my Pow'rs are fainting, And Speech is from me fled, Accept, o Lord, my Panting, Accept my Sighs in Stead. V. With humble Resignation On CHRIST I lean my Head; At th' Hour of Expiration His Cross shall be my Bed. VI. Then, Lord, with Thee united, Display to me thy Bliss; And let my soul be plighted To endless Love and Peace. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: [Christ is my Light and Treasure]
