God’s Goodness

                         Psalm 107

1. Oh, that men would praise the LORD!

His goodness and His works record.

The longing soul He satisfies

And fills the hungry soul that cries.

2. Sad rebels bound with iron chains

Cried to the LORD in dark and pains;

He saved them from distress and fright;

He broke their bands and gave them light.

3. Oh, that all men would praise the LORD!

His goodness and His works record;

He cut the irons bars in two,

And all the gates of brass broke through.

4. Afflicted fools because of sin

Draw near to death all sick within,

But when they cry to God He hears

And heals and saves them from their fears.

5. Oh, that all men would praise the LORD!

His goodness and His works record,

Give thanks and offer sacrifice;

Rejoice in works beyond all price.

6. All those in ships on waters deep

Behold God’s works as great waves leap

And toss their ship while storms do blow,

As drunk, they stagger to and fro.

7. They cry to God in their distress

And soon the ragging storm is less.

He stills the waves and calms the sea

And brings them where they want to be.

8. Oh, that all men would praise the LORD!

His goodness and His works record,

Exalt Him in assembled crowd,

Give praise and sing and shout aloud!
