How Good It Is to Thank the Lord

How good it is to thank the Lord

And praise to Thee

Most High

ac­cord

To show Thy love with morn­ing light

And tell Thy faith­ful­ness each night;

Yea

good it is Thy praise to sing

And all our sweet­est mu­sic bring.

O Lord

with joy my heart ex­pands

Before the won­ders of Thy hands;

Great works

Je­ho­vah

Thou hast wrought

Exceeding deep Thine ev­ery thought;

A fool­ish man knows not their worth

Nor he whose mind is of the earth.

When as the grass the wick­ed grow

When sin­ners flour­ish here be­low

Then is there end­less ruin nigh

But Thou

O Lord

art throned on high;

Thy foes shall fall be­fore Thy might

The wick­ed shall be put to flight.

Thou

Lord

hast high ex­alt­ed me

With roy­al strength and dig­ni­ty;

With Thine an­oint­ing I am blest

Thy grace and fa­vor on me rest;

I thus ex­ult o’er all my foes

O’er all that would my cause op­pose.

The right­eous man shall flour­ish well

And in the house of God shall dwell;

He shall be like a good­ly tree

And all his life shall fruit­ful be;

For right­eous is the Lord and just

He is my Rock

in Him I trust.
