Giving Thanks to the Lord

from whom all blessings flow!

"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

Serve the Lord with gladness:

Come before His Presence with singing.

Know ye that the Lord He is God:

It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving

And into His courts with praise:

Be thankful unto Him, and bless His Name.

For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting;

And His truth endureth to all generations."

Psalm 100:1-5

~ Giving Thanks ~

It is so easy to give thanks to the Lord
when all is right,
When the sun is shining bright
and the skies are clear and heavenly blue;
What little effort it takes to praise Him
when life is so right in our sight.

Oh, but it isn't so easy to give thanks
to the Lord when all is not right,
And the sun is no longer shining
and the skies are cloudy and gray;
What great endeavor it takes to praise
Him when life is not so bright.

But that is just the time we need
to praise and thank Him the most,
For the loving, caring, compassionate,
and faithful God that He is;
Then over doubt and fear we will surely
triumph by this great boast.

So let's give thanks always no matter
what the circumstances may be
And in time the sun will shine brightly
again and in the sky we will see,
That beautiful rainbow promise which
will fill our hearts with great glee.

~ Praise the Lord ~

I hear ten thousand voices singing
Their praises to the Lord on high;
Far distant shores and hills are ringing
With anthems of their nation's joy:

Praise ye the Lord! For He hath given
To lands in darkness hid, His light,
As morning rays light up the heaven,
His word has chased away our night.

Hark! Hark! a louder sound is booming
O'er heaven and earth, o'er land and sea;
The angel's trump proclaims His coming --
Our day of endless Jubilee.

Hail to Thee, Lord! Thy people praise Thee;
In every land Thy Name we sing;
On heaven's eternal throne we praise thee,
Take Thou Thy power, Thou glorious King!

- Hymns of Consecration -

Praise You The Lord

Praise God in His sanctuary:

Praise Him in the firmament of His power.

Praise Him for His mighty acts:

Praise Him according to His excellent greatness.

Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet:

Praise Him with the psaltery and harp.

Praise Him with the timbrel and dance:

Praise Him with the stringed instruments and organs.

Praise Him upon the loud cymbals:

Praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.
