PSALM 105:1-6, 16-22, 45b
METER: CMD (86 86 D)
SUGGESTED TUNE: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN
This is the meter to such hymns as "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood."
1. Give thanks to God, call on his name,
Tell his deeds to the earth.
Sing praise and tell his wondrous works,
Give glory to his name.
Let those who worship the Lord God
Rejoice and e'er be glad.
Seek God and call on him for help,
His presence always seek.
2. Remember the great things he's done,
Wonders and judgments great,
You offspring of him who served God,
Your father Abraham,
And you, descendants of Jacob,
The ones whom God did choose.
God sent a famine to the land
And took away their food.
3. But God sent one ahead of them,
Joseph, sold as a slave.
In chains and neck irons he was kept,
Till what he said came true.
The word of God had proved him right,
The king had him released,
And gave him rule o'er all his land,
Officials to instruct.
