How Good It Is, Lord

How good it is

Lord

to sing Your prais­es;

Pleasant and fit­ting to praise Your name.

Daily Your peo­ple learn of Your good­ness;

You help the down­cast

heal­ing their pain.

You count the stars and call each by name.

Lord

You are great; Your pow’r I de­clare.

Your un­der­stand­ing cannot be mea­sured;

You keep the hum­ble safe in Your care.

I sing Your prais­es with much thanks­giv­ing.

Hear now my mu­sic; my heart is stirred.

You send the rain and then make the grass grow.

You feed the cat­tle and the young birds.

Lord

You de­light in all those who rev­er­ence You

All those who trust Your love and Your deeds.

I will ex­tol You for all Your bless­ings;

You give me peace and meet all my needs.

You send com­mands through­out all the earth;

Your word runs swift­ly

touch­ing all things.

You spread the snow and scat­ter the hoar­frost

Hurl down Your hail

then melt all in spring.

You have re­vealed Your laws to Your peo­ple

Telling us Your com­mands through Your Word.

We are so bless­ed to have Your in­struct­ions;

Alleluia! Praise the Lord!
