EN 1911 Praise Ye the Lord, My Heart Shall Join

Ps.146.1

Versi Version 1

1

Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join

In work so pleasant, so divine;

Now, while the flesh is mine abode,

And when my soul ascends to God.

2

Praise shall employ my noblest powers,

While immortality endures;

My days of praise shall ne’er be past,

While life, and thought, and being last.

3

Why should I make a man my trust?

Princes must die and turn to dust;

Their breath departs, their pomp, and power,

And thoughts, all vanish in an hour.

4

Happy the man whose hopes rely

On Israel’s God; He made the sky,

And earth, and seas, with all their train,

And none shall find His promise vain.

5

His truth forever stands secure;

He saves th’ oppressed, He feeds the poor;

He sends the laboring conscience peace,

And grants the prisoner sweet release.

6

The Lord hath eyes to give the blind;

The Lord supports the sinking mind;

He helps the stranger in distress,

The widow and the fatherless.

7

He loves his saints, He knows them well,

But turns the wicked down to hell:

Thy God, O Zion! ever reigns;

Praise Him in everlasting strains.
