Praise Waits for You in Zion

1 Praise waits for you in Zion; to you our vows we pay. 2 all flesh will come before you, O God who hears us pray. 3 When our sins overwhelm us, accusing ev’ry day, you pardon our transgressions and take our guilt away. 4 How blest are they you’ve chosen to bring within your courts. We’re filled with all the goodness of your most holy house. 5 By awesome deeds you answer with deliv’rance, O God. You are the hope of nations and farthest seas abroad. 6 By strength you formed the mountains. 7 You hushed the sea’s loud voice; you calmed the waves’ great roaring and stilled the people’s noise. 8 Those living in remote lands will fear your wondrous ways; you make the morn and evening shout forth with songs of praise. 9 You visit earth and greatly enrich the land with rain. God’s stream is full of water, and you provide their grain. 10 You water all its furrows, you settle all the ground; you soften it with showers and make its growth abound. 11 You crown the year with bounty; your harvests overflow. 12 The wilderness is fruitful; the hills with joy are clothed. 13 With grain the vales are covered; the flocks in pasture graze. All nature joins in singing a joyful song of praise. – Trinity Psalter Hymnal, alt.
