It Is Good to Sing Thy Prais
It is good to sing Thy prais-es
And to thank Thee, O Most High,
Show-ing forth Thy lov-ing-kind-ness
When the morn-ing lights the sky.
It is good when night is fall-ing
Of Thy faith-ful-ness to tell,
While with sweet, me-lo-dious prais-es
Songs of ad-o-ra-tion swell.
Thou hast filled my heart with glad-ness
Through the works Thy hands have wrought;
Thou hast made my life vic-to-rious,
Great Thy works and deep Thy thought.
Thou, O Lord, on high ex-alt-ed,
Reign-est ev-er-more in might;
All Thy en-e-mies shall per-ish,
Sin be ban-ished from Thy sight.
But the good shall live be-fore Thee,
Plant-ed in Thy dwell-ing place,
Fruit-ful trees and ev-er ver-dant,
Nour-ished by Thy bound-less grace.
In His good-ness to the right-eous
God His right-eous-ness dis-plays;
God my rock, my strength, my ref-uge,
Just and true are all His ways.
