Author: Michael Perry, 1942-1996 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 138 First Line: I'll praise you, Lord, with heart content and joyful Lyrics: 1 I'll praise you, Lord, with heart content and joyful;
before the world, I'll tell your righteous ways;
I will bow down towards your holy temple,
exalt your name and sing your worthy praise.
2 Beyond the skies you set your timeless kingdom;
your word shall last; your throne shall never fall;
the lords of earth will marvel at your wisdom
and kneel before the mighty Lord of all.
3 Though set on high, you look upon the lowly –
the proud you see with sorrow from afar;
in all my trouble you are swift to save me,
and with your arm restrain the threat of war.
4 Forever you will keep your face towards us;
your mercy and your love will never cease.
Then come fulfil in us your mighty purpose,
and grant to your creation perfect peace.
