O Praise the Lord, for He Is Good (107)

O praise the Lord

for He is good

His mer­cies still en­dure;

Thus let His ran­somed tes­ti­fy

From all their foes secure.

He has re­deemed His cap­tive saints

From ad­ver­sa­ries’ hands

Has ga­thered them and brought them back

In peace from hos­tile lands.

They wan­dered in the wil­der­ness

By want and hung­er pressed;

In trou­ble when they cried to God

He saved their souls dis­tressed.

He made the way be­fore them plain

Himself be­came their guide;

He brought them to a ci­ty strong

Wherein they might ab­ide.

O praise the Lord

ye sons of men

For all His good­ness shown;

O praise Him for the won­drous works

To you He has made known.

The long­ing soul that turns to Him

He fills with good each hun­ger­ing one

That for His mer­cy cries.
