Refrain: Great is the Lord and highly to be praised.
1 I will exalt you, O God my King, •
and bless your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless you •
and praise your name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord and highly to be praised; •
his greatness is beyond all searching out. R
4 One generation shall praise your works to another •
and declare your mighty acts.
5 They shall speak of the majesty of your glory, •
and I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
6 They shall speak of the might of your marvellous acts, •
and I will also tell of your greatness.
7 They shall pour forth the story of your abundant kindness •
and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, •
long-suffering and of great goodness. R
9 The Lord is loving to everyone •
and his mercy is over all his creatures.
10 All your works praise you, O Lord, •
and your faithful servants bless you.
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom •
and speak of your mighty power,
12 To make known to all peoples your mighty acts •
and the glorious splendour of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; •
your dominion endures throughout all ages. R
14 The Lord is sure in all his words •
and faithful in all his deeds.
15 The Lord upholds all those who fall •
and lifts up all those who are bowed down.
16 The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord, •
and you give them their food in due season.
17 You open wide your hand •
and fill all things living with plenty. R
18 The Lord is righteous in all his ways •
and loving in all his works.
19 The Lord is near to those who call upon him, •
to all who call upon him faithfully.
20 He fulfils the desire of those who fear him; •
he hears their cry and saves them.
21 The Lord watches over those who love him, •
but all the wicked shall he destroy.
22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, •
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
Refrain: Great is the Lord and highly to be praised.
King of the universe,
you show the bright glory of your reign
in acts of mercy and enduring love;
raise the spirits of the downcast
and restore those who have fallen away,
that we may sing for ever of your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayers for Charlotte, Anita, Margaret, Bill, Peggy, Lynn, Dale, Amy, Kay, Allison. Glad thanks for answered prayer this morning!
