Let all who hear Now to his temple draw near, Joining in glad adoration! 2 Praise to the Lord, who o'er all things is wondrously reigning And, as on wings of an eagle, uplifting, sustaining. Have you not seen All that is needful has been Sent by his gracious ordaining? 3 Praise to the Lord, who has fearfully, wondrously, made you, Health has bestowed and, when heedlessly falling, has stayed you. What need or grief Ever has failed of relief? Wings of his mercy did shade you. 4 Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you; Surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you. Ponder anew What the Almighty can do As with his love he befriends you. 5 Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that is in me adore him! All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him! Let the Amen Sound from his people again; Gladly forever adore him! Topics: Worship and Praise; Worship and Praise Used With Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN Text Sources: Translation composite

But in the gospel Christ appears, Pard'ning the guilt of num'rous years. 4 My soul, no more attempt to draw Your life and comfort from the law. Flee to the hope the gospel gives; The one who trusts the promise lives. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

His hand, in sight of all my foes, Will still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows; His oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; Oh, may his house be my abode And all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest While others go and come, No more a stranger or a guest But like a child at home. Topics: Redeemer; Redeemer Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

It is the chart and compass That, all life's journey through, Mid mists and rocks and quicksands Still guides, O Christ, to you. 3 Oh, make your Church, dear Savior, A lamp of burnished gold To bear before the nations Your true light, as of old. Oh, teach your wand'ring pilgrims By this their path to trace Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see you face to face. Topics: Word of God; Word of God Used With Tune: MUNICH
