We Praise You Lord

We Praise You Lord

Praise awaits you, O God, in Zion

To you our vows will be fulfilled

O you who hear prayer

To you all men will come

When we were overwhelmed by sins

You forgave our transgressions

Blessed are those you choose

And bring near to live in your courts

We are filled with the good things of your house

Of your holy temple.

You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness

O God our Saviour

The hope of all the ends of the earth

And of the farthest seas

Who formed the mountains by your power

Having armed yourself with strength

Who stilled the roaring of the seas

The roaring of their waves

And the turmoil of the nations.

Those living far away fear your wonders

Where morning dawns and evening fades

You call forth songs of joy.

You care for the land and water it

You enrich it abundantly

The streams of God are filled with water

To provide the people with corn

For so you have ordained it

You drench its furrows

And level its ridges

You soften it with showers

And bless its crops

You crown the year with your bounty

And your carts overflow with abundance

The grasslands of the desert overflow

The hills are clothed with gladness

The meadows are covered with flocks

And the valleys are mantled with corn

They shout for joy and sing

Praise ye the Lord!
