Common Metre Tunes

   1  Praise ye the Lord: with all my heart
         I will God's praise declare,
      Ev'n where assemblies of the just
         And congregations are.
   2  Jehovah's works are very great
         The wonders of his might;
      Sought out they are of every one
         Who in them takes delight.
   3  His work most honorable is,
         Most glorious and pure,
      And his untainted righteousness
         Forever doth endure.
   4  His works of wonder he hath made
         To be remembered well:
      In grace and in compassion great
         Jehovah doth excel.
   5  The Lord provideth food for all
         Who truly do him fear;
      And evermore his covenant
          He in his mind will bear.
   6  He did the power of his works
         To his own people show,
      That he the heathen's heritage
         Upon them might bestow.
   7  His hands' works all are truth and right;
         All his commands are sure:
      And, done in truth and uprightness
         They evermore endure.
   8  He to his chosen people sent
         Redemption by his pow'r;
      His covenant he did command
         To be forevermore.
   9  His name alone most holy is,
         In fear to be adored.
      Of wisdom the beginning is
         To truly fear the Lord.
  10  Good understanding have they ail
         Who carefully obey
      His just commandments ev'ry one
         His praise endures for aye.
