O Give the Lord Whole-Hearted Praise

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: William Gardiner, 1815

O give the Lord whole-heart­ed praise

To Him thanks­giving I will bring;

With all His people I will raise

My voice and of His glo­ry sing.

His saints de­light to search and trace

His migh­ty works and won­drous ways;

Majestic glo­ry

bound­less grace

And right­eous­ness His work dis­plays.

The won­drous works that God has wrought

His peo­ple ev­er keep in mind;

His works with grace and mer­cy fraught

Revealing that the Lord is kind.

God’s pro­mise shall for­ev­er stand

He cares for those who trust His Word;

Upon His saints His migh­ty hand

The wealth of na­tions has con­ferred.

His works are true and just in­deed

His pre­cepts are for­ev­er sure;

In truth and right­eous­ness de­creed

They shall for­ev­er­more en­dure.

From Him His saints’ re­demp­tion came;

His cov’nant sure no change can know;

Let all rev­ere His ho­ly name

In Heav’n abo­ve and earth be­low

In rev­er­ence and god­ly fear

Man finds the gate to wis­dom’s ways;

The wise His ho­ly name rev­ere;

Through end­less ages sound His praise.
