How good and pleasant must it be

Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 How good and pleasant must it be To thank the LORD most high; And with repeated Hymns of Praise, His Name to magnify: With ev'ry Morning's early Dawn, His Goodness to relate; And of his constant Truth, each Night The glad Effects repeat. 2 To ten string'd Instruments we'll sing, With tuneful Psalt'ries join'd, And to the Harp, with solemn Sounds, For sacred Use design'd: For through thy wond'rous Works, O Lord, Thou mak'st my Heart rejoice; The Thoughts of them shall make me glad, And shout with chearful Voice. 3 How wond'rous are thy Works, O LORD! How deep are thy Decrees! Whose winding Tracks, in Cecret laid, No stupid Sinner sees: He little thinks, when wicked Men, Like Grass, look fresh and gay; How soon their short liv'd Splendor must, For ever pass away. 4 But thou, my GOD, art still most high; And all thy lofty Foes, Who thought they might securely sin, Shall be o'erwhelm'd with Woes: Whilst thou exalt'st my Sov'reign Pow'r, And mak'st it largely spread; And with refreshing Oil anoint'st My consecrated Head. 5 I soon shall see my stubborn Foes To utter Ruin brought; And hear the dismal End of those Who have against me fought: But righteous Men, like fruitful Palms, Shall make a glorious Show; As Cedars that on Lebanon In stately Order grow. 6 These planted in the House of GOD, Within his Courts shall thrive; Their Vigour and their Lustre both Shall in old Age revive. Thus will the LORD his Justice shew; And GOD, my strong Defence, Shall due Rewards to all the World Impartially dispense. Scripture: Psalm 92 Used With Tune: [How good and pleasant must it be]

Sing Praise to God, Whose Mighty Acts (Psalm 9)

Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Christ's Return and Judgment; Hope; Jesus Christ Advent; Justice; Sovereignty of God; Thanksgiving First Line: Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God, whose mighty acts still strong in memory stand to give us hope when evil seems to gain the upper hand. Give thanks for deeds of steadfast love, for wonders new and old: for fire and cloud, for daily food, for mercies yet untold. 2 Though monuments of evil rise in marble, gilt, and stone, time’s search will find their boasts untrue, their makers’ names unknown. Mute avenues of ruins will mark where once proud cities stood, but from destruction God will save the faithful, just, and good. 3 Rise up, O God, reclaim the power usurped by mortal pride; deflate the hollow pomp of those whom rank and titles hide. Let not the needy cry unheard, the suffering hope in vain; restore the fallen, bless the meek, till peace and justice reign. Scripture: Psalm 9 Used With Tune: SALVATION

Let peoples surround Thee and wait at Thy feet, While o'er them for judgment Thou takest Thy seat. 4 All nations of men shall be judged by the Lord; To me, O Jehovah, just judgment accord, As faithful and righteous in life I have been, And ever integrity cherished within. 5 Establish the righteous, let evil depart, For God Who is just tries the tho'ts of the heart. In God for defense I have placed all my trust; The upright He saves and He judges the just. 6 The Lord with the wicked is wroth every day, And if they repent not is ready to slay; By manifold ruin for others prepared They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared. 7 Because He is righteous His praise I will sing, Thanksgiving and honor to Him I will bring, Will sing to the Lord on Whose grace I rely, Extolling the Name of Jehovah Most High.

O who can show His glory forth, Or utter all His praise? 3 The Lord will bless and prosper those, Yea, blest indeed are they, Whose ways are just, who constantly His righteous law obey. 4 O Lord, remember me in grace, Let me salvation see; The grace Thou showest to Thy saints, That grace reveal to me. 5 Let me behold Thy people's good And in their joy rejoice; With Thy triumphant heritage Let me lift up my voice. 6 In evil we have gone astray, And sinful is our race; Rebelliously our fathers walked, Forgetful of Thy grace. 7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help In saving strength he came To make His power almighty known And glorify His Name. 8 He brought them safely through the sea And overwhelmed their foes; Their faith was stirred, and for the time Their songs of praise arose. 9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God, Nor for His counsel cared; He sent them leanness in their souls, Whilst they earth's bounties shared. 10 With envy they regarded those Whom God to them had sent; The opening earth, the kindling flame, Brought awful punishment. 11 A golden image they adored, And worshiped at its shrine; Thus they despised the living God And scorned His love divine.
