O Praise the Lord, for He Is Good (118)

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 First Line: O praise the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1. O praise the Lord, for He is good, Let all in Heav’n above And all His saints on earth proclaim His everlasting love. In my distress I called on God; In grace He answered me, Removed my bonds, enlarged my place, From trouble set me free. 2. The Lord with me, I will not fear Though human might oppose; The Lord my helper, I shall be Triumphant o’er my foes. No trust in men, or kings of men, Can confidence afford, But they are strong, and sure their trust, Whose hope is in the Lord. 3. Though nations compass me about, Like swarming hosts of sin, Yet in the name of God the Lord I shall the victory win. The Lord has helped and kept me safe When foes were fierce and strong; The Lord my Savior is become, He is my strength and song. 4. Salvation’s joyful song is heard Where’er the righteous dwell; For them God’s hand is strong to save And doeth all things well. I shall not die, but live to tell The wonders of the Lord; He has not giv’n my soul to death, But chastened and restored.
