Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Nature Revelation of God in First Line: O sing ye Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah! 'Tis good our God to praise; 'Tis pleasant and becoming To Him our songs to raise; He builds the walls of Zion, He seeks her wand'ring sons, He binds their wounds and comforts The brokenhearted ones. 2 The starry host He numbers, He calls them all by name; His greatness and His wisdom His wondrous works proclaim; The meek He lifts to honor, he humbles sinful pride; Give thanks to Him and utter His praises far and wide. 3 The heav'ns with clouds He covers, He sends the cheering rain; The slopes of all the mountains He fills with grass and grain; To beast and bird His goodness Their daily food supplies; He cares for all His creatures, Attentive to their cries. 4 No human pow'r delights Him, No earthly pomp or pride; He loves the meek who fear Him And in His love confide; Then praise thy God, O Zion, His gracious aid confess; He gives thee peace and plenty, His gifts thy children bless. 5 He sends His swift commandment, And snow and ice enfold The world, and none are able To stand before His cold. Again He gives commandment; The winds of summer blow, The snow and ice are melted, Again the waters flow. 6 His statutes and His judgments He makes His people know; To them as to no others His grace He loves to show; For matchless grace and mercy Your grateful praises bring; To Him give thanks forever, And Hallelujah sing.
