Give praise and thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give praise and thanks unto the Lord, for bountiful is he; his tender mercy doth endure unto eternity. 2 God’s mighty works who can express? or show forth all his praise? 3 Blessed are they that judgment keep, and justly do always. 4 Remember me, Lord, with that love which thou to thine dost bear; with thy salvation, O my God, to visit me draw near: 5 that I thy chosen’s good may see, and in their joy rejoice; And may with thine inheritance triumph with cheerful voice. 6 We with our fathers sinned have, and of iniquity too long we have the workers been; we have done wickedly. 7 The wonders great, which thou, O Lord, didst work in Egypt land, our fathers, though they saw, yet them they did not understand: And they thy mercies’ multitude kept not in memory; but at the sea, even the Red sea, rebelled most grievously. 8 Nevertheless he saved them, even for his own name’s sake; that so he might to be well known his mighty power make. 9 The Red Sea also he rebuked, and then dried up it was: through depths, as through the wilderness, he safely made them pass. 10 From hands of those that hated them he did his people save; and from the foeman’s cruel hand to them redemption gave. 11 The waters overwhelmed their foes; not one was left alive. 12 Then they believed his word, and praise to him in songs did give. 13 But soon did they his mighty works forget unthankfully, and on his counsel and his will did not wait patiently; 14 They lusted in the wilderness, in desert God did tempt. 15 He gave them what they sought, but to their soul he leanness sent. 16 They envied Moses in the camp and grudged his rule to see, Aaron, Jehovah's hole one, they viewed with jealousy. 17 Therefore the earth did open wide, and Dathan did devour, and all Abiram’s company did cover in that hour. 18 Likewise among their company a fire was kindled then; and so the hot consuming flame burnt up these wicked men. 19 Upon the hill of Horeb they an idol-calf did frame, a molten image they did make, and worshipped the same. 20 And changed the High and Holy One, who all their glory was, into the likeness of an ox that feedeth upon grass. 21 They did forget the mighty God, who had their saviour been, by whom such great things brought to pass they had in Egypt seen. 22 In the land of Ham wrought signs, things terrible did he, when he his mighty hand and arm stretched out at the Red sea. 23 Then said he, he would them destroy, had not, his wrath to stay, his chosen Moses stood in breach, that them he should not slay. 24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, believed not his word: 25 but in their tents they murmured, not hearkening to the Lord. 26 To slay them in the desert then he lifted up his hand: 27 ’mong nations to o’erthrow their seed, and scatter in each land. 28 They unto Baal-peor did themselves associate; the sacrifices of the dead they impiously ate. 29 Thus by inventions of their own they did provoke his ire; and then upon them suddenly the plague brake in as fire. 30 Then Phinehas stood up and judged, and so the plague did cease; 31 to ages all this counted was to him for righteousness. 32 And at the waters, where they strove, they did him angry make, in such sort, that it fared ill with Moses for their sake: 33 because against his spirit they rebelled most grievously, so that he uttered with his lips words unadvisedly. 34 Nor, as the Lord commanded them, did they the nations slay 35 but with the heathen mingled were, and learned of them their way. 36 their idols they did serve, and these became to them a snare; 37 they unto demons sacrifices their sons and daughters there. 38 In their own children’s guiltless blood their hands they did imbrue, whom to Canaan’s idols they for sacrifices slew: so was the land defiled with blood. 39 Stained by their works were they and by inventions of their own they wantonly did stray. 40 For this against his people burned the anger of the Lord; and he his own inheritance in righteousness abhorred. 41 He gave them to the heathen’s power; their foes did them command: 42 their enemies them oppressed, they were made subject to their hand. 43 He many times delivered them, yet still they did rebel with counsels vain, and by their sin into destruction fell. 44 Yet their affliction he beheld, when he did hear their cry: 45 and he for them his covenant did call to memory; After his mercies’ multitude 46 he did repent, and make them to be pitied of all those who did them captive take. 47 Save, Lord our God, and gather us the heathen from among, that we thy holy name may praise in a triumphant song. 48 Blessed be Jehovah, Israel’s God, to all eternity: let all the people say, Amen. Praise to the Lord give ye. Scripture: Psalm 106 Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE
