Tell His Praise in Song and Story

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #347 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Tell his praise in song and story, bless the Lord with heart and voice; in my God is all my glory, come before him and rejoice. Join to praise his name together, he who hears his people's cry; tell his praise, come wind or weather, shining faces lifted high. 2 To the Lord whose love has found them cry the poor in their distress; swift his angels, camped around them, prove him sure to save and bless. God it is who hears our crying though the spark of faith be dim; taste and see! Beyond denying blest are those who trust in him. 3 Taste and see! In faith draw near him, trust the Lord with all your powers; seek and serve him, love and fear him, life and all its joys are ours-- true delight in holy living, peace and plenty, length of days; come, my children, with thanksgiving bless the Lord in songs of praise. 4 In our need he walks beside us, ears alert to every cry; watchful eyes to guard and guide us, love that whispers, "It is I." Good shall triumph, wrong be righted, God has pledged his promised word; so with ransomed saints united join to praise our living Lord!
