Now Let the Godly Sing for Joy (Psalm 33)

words: Gary Hicks (10.03.2010)
copyright 2010 by Gary L. Hicks
tune: "Ellacombe" 
from "Gesangbuch der H W k Hofcapelle" 1784
“I Sing the Mighty Power of God”

Now let the godly sing for joy
And bring their rightful praise
His word holds true in every storm
We trust His faithful ways
Sing melodies and harmonies
A new song in the air
Play skillfully, with all your might
And praise Him everywhere.

Now let us stand in awe of Him
All creatures, fear the Lord,
The Maker of the universe
By His creative word.
He spoke, and all the stars were born
Each galaxy above
And every creature great and small –
In Him we live and move.

In grace He watches over us,
And helps us every day
He made our hearts, our lives, our minds
He understands our way.
What joy there is for those who trust,
Who faithfully pursue
In arms of love He carries us
Until the storm is through.

We put our hope in Christ the Lord
Our help, our strength, our shield
Our weary hearts in Him rejoice
Our hopes and fears we yield
Unfailing love surrounds us here
We trust in You alone
And from our lips sweet songs of joy
Rise up before Your throne.
