Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Blessedness Of Those Obeying Christ; Faith Blessedness of First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for He is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for He is good; Give thanks and bless His Name; His loving-kindness changes not, From age to age the same. 2 What tongue can tell His mighty deeds, His wondrous works and ways? 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.

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 381 hymnals Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 God, my Redeemer lives, And often, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Array'd in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face, Look heavenly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 5 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.
