Psalm 118: This Is the Day
Let hearty thanks and praise be paid
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Let hearty thanks and praise be paid
By all who join'd to pray;
When ardent pray'r to God was made,
To turn his wrath away.
2 We were deliver'd by the Lord,
When we were much distress'd;
Our feeble cries and pray'rs were heard,
And we have peace and rest.
3 Distress came on us like a flood,
And great was our alarm;
But through the mercies of our God
Our lives were kept from harm.
4 To God alone shall be our praise,
To him, and none besides;
His love, his mercy and his grace,
For all we need provides.
5 Then let us join his praise to sing,
As christians ought to do:
And worship him our Lord and King,
Who guards us here below. Topics: Thanksgiving for Peace

God Is Our Song
Author: Free Pratt Green, (1903-2000) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118:14 First Line: God is our Song, and every singer blest Lyrics: 1 God is our Song, and every singer blest
Who praising Him finds energy and rest.
All who praise God with unaffected joy
Give back to us the wisdom we destroy,
Give back to us the wisdom we destroy.
2 God is our Song, for Jesus comes to save;
While praising Him we offer all we have.
New songs we sing, in ventures new unite,
When Jesus leads us upward into light,
When Jesus leads us upward into light.
3 This is the Song no conflict ever drowns;
Who praises God our human wrath disowns.
Love knows what rich complexities of sound
God builds upon a simple common ground,
God builds upon a simple common ground.
4 God is our Silence when no songs are sung,
When ecstasy or sorrow stills the tongue.
Glorious the faith which silently obeys
Until we find again the voice of praise,
Until we find again the voice of praise. Used With Tune: OLD 124th

Let All Exalt Jehovah's Goodness
O praise the Lord, for He is good
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 O praise the LORD, for He is good,
his mercies ne'er decay:
2 And that his mercies ever last,
let thankful Isr'el say.
3 Their sense of his eternal love
let Aaron's house declare:
4 And that it fails not, let all say,
all who Jehovah fear.
5 To the almighty JAH I cry'd
in my extreme distress;
And JAH, on high me heard,and brought
into this happy place.
6 The LORD is for me; I'll not fear
what man to me can do:
7 The LORD is with my helping friends;
and I will face my foe.
8 'Tis better on the LORD to trust,
than trust in man's defence;
9 Better to trust the LORD than place
in princes confidence.
[2 Part]
10 All nations round environ'd me,
design'd my fatal fall;
But in JEHOVAH's mighty name
I overcame them all.
11 They compass'd me, again, again,
and try'd my utter fall;
But in JEHOVAH's mighty name
I did subdue them all.
12 Like angry bees they round me swarm'd,
rag'd like a thorny flame;
Yet quenched and destroyed were,
but in JEHOVAH's name.
13 When they push'd hard to beat me down,
JEHOVAH helped me.
14 The mighty JAH my strength, my song,
and saving help is He.
15 In tents of righteous men is heard
the voice of health and joy:
The Lord's right hand gives mighty strength
and works most mightily,
16 JEHOVAH by his mighty pow'r
advances them on high:
The Lord's right hand gives mighty strength
and works most mightily.
[3 Part]
17 I shall not die, but longer live,
and gratefully declare
The works of our almighty JAH,
how wonderful they are.
18 For JAH hath sorely me chastiz'd,
till just of life bereav'd:
But kindly from the gates of death,
my fainting life repriev'd.
19 O set wide open now to me
the gates of righteousness;
And I will enter them, and there
the praise of JAH confess.
20 This gate, JEHOVAH's blessed gate,
into his house doth lead:
The righteous love to enter in;
and entring in are glad.
21 Among these righteous ones I'll be
and praise on Thee bestow;
For Thou hast heard me, and to Thee
I my salvation owe.
22 The stone the builders did despise,
and utterly disclaim,
Is now the chief and corner stone,
which bares up all the frame.
23 This work JEHOVAH's mighty pow'r
hath brought to pass alone;
And we in great amazement stand
to see what He hath done.
[4 Part
24 This is the great and blessed day
the LORD himself hath made;
And we will all therein rejoyce,
and be exceeding glad.
25 JEHOVAH we now Thee beseech
SALVATION TO AFFORD:
We humbly Thee entreat now send
prosperity, O LORD!
26 He that comes in JEHOVAH's name
O let him blessed be.
Out of JEHOVAH's house to you,
a blessing wish do we.
27 God is JEHOVAH, who to us
hath made his light to rise:
Bind therefore to his altar's horns
with cords, our sacrifice.
28 Thou art my God, and I'll proclaim
for evermore thy praise:
Thou art my God, and thy great name
my thankful song shall raise,
29 O to JEHOVAH give ye thanks;
immensely good is He,
Because his mercy doth endure
ev'n to eternity.
O praise the Lord, for He is good

Confitemini
Author: N. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 First Line: O give ye thanks unto the Lord Lyrics: 1 O give ye thanks unto the Lord,
for gracious is he:
Because his mercy doth endure
for ever towards thee.
2 Let Israel confesse and say,
his mercy dures for aye:
3 Now let the house of Aaron say,
his mercy dures for aye.
4 Let all that feare the Lord our God
even now confess and say,
The mercy of the Lord our God
endureth still for aye.
5 In trouble and in heavinesse
unto the Lord I cry'd,
Which lovingly heard me at large,
my suit was not deny'd.
6 The Lord himselfe is on my side,
I will not stand in doubt:
Nor feare what man can do to me,
when God stands me about.
7 The Lord doth take my part with them
that help to succour me:
Therefore I shall see my desire
upon mine enemy.
8 Better it is to trust in God,
than in mans mortall seed:
9 Or to put confidence in Kings,
or Princes in our need.
10 All nations have inclosed me,
and compassed me round:
But in the Name of God shall I
mine enemies confound.
11 They kept me in on every side,
they kept me in I say,
But in the Lord's most mighty Name
I shall work their decay.
12 They came about me all like Bees,
but yet in the Lord's Name
I quench'd their thorns that were on fire
and did destroy the same.
The second Part:
13 Thou hast with force thrust sore at me,
that I indeed might fall:
But through the Lord I found such help,
that they were vanquish'd all.
14 The Lord is my defence and strength,
my joy, my mirth, and song:
He is become to me indeed,
a Saviour most strong.
15 The right hand of the Lord our God
doth bring to passe great things:
He causeth voice of joy and health
in righteous mens dwellings.
16 The right hand of the Lord doth bring
most mighty things to passe:
His hand hath the preheminence,
his force is as it was.
17 I shall not die, but ever live
to utter and declare:
The Lord his might and wondrous power,
his works, and what they are.
18 The Lord himselfe hath chastened,
and hath corrected me:
But ahth not given me over yet
to death as ye may see.
19 Set open unto me the gates
of truth and righteousnesse:
That I may enter into them
The Lords praise for to expresse.
20 This is the gate even of the Lord,
which shall not so be shut:
But good and righteous men alway
may enter into it.
The third Part:
21 I will give thanks to thee O Lord,
because thou hast head me,
And art become most lovingly
a Saviour unto me.
22 The stone which ere this time among
the builders was refused:
Is now become the corner-stone,
and chiefly to be used.
23 This was the mighty work of God,
it was the Lords own fact:
And it is marvellous to behold
with eyes that noble act.
24 This is the joyfull day indeed,
which God himselfe hath wrought:
Let us be glad and joy therein,
in heart, in mind, and thought.
25 Now help us Lord, and prosper us,
we wish with one accord:
26 Blessed is he that comes to us
in thenName of the Lord.
27 God is the Lord that shews us light,
bind ye therefore with cord
Your sacrifice to the altar,
and give thanks to the Lord.
25 Thou art my God, I will confesse
and render thanks to thee:
Thou art my God, and I will praise
thy mercy towards me.
26 O give ye thanks unto the Lord,
for gracious is he;
Because his mercy doth endure
forever towards thee.

nor did their zeal offend him,
but as he rode along,
he let them still attend him,
and smiled to hear their song.
2 And since the Lord retaineth
his love for children still,
though now as King he reigneth
on Zion's heav'nly hill,
we'll flock around his banner
who sits upon his throne,
and cry aloud, "Hosanna
to David's royal Son!"
3 For should we fail proclaiming
our great Redeemer's praise,
the stones, our silence shaming,
would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
the tribute of our words?
No, while our hearts are tender,
they too shall be the Lord's.

When His Salvation Bringing
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 118 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.

My friends devoutly say,
In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day.

The church, adorned with grace,
Stands like a palace built for God,
To show his milder face.

The holy tribes repair:
The Son of David holds his throne,
And sits in judgment there.
4 He hears our praises and complaints,
And while his awful voice
Divides the sinners from the saints,
We tremble and rejoice.
5 Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest;
With holy gifts and heavenly grace
Be her attendants blest!

While life or breath remains;

Adorned with wondrous grace,
And walls of strength embrace thee round:
In thee our tribes appear
To pray, and praise, and hear
The sacred gospel's joyful sound.

And joy within thee wait,
To bless the soul of every guest:
The man who seeks thy peace,
And wishes thine increase,
A thousand blessings on him rest!

Peace to this sacred house!
For here my friends and kindred dwell:
And since my glorious God
Makes thee his blest abode,
My soul shall ever love thee well.

While we uphold thy hands with prayer.
