O, let us exalt our dear Lord and proclaim,
In songs of true gratitude, praise to His name!
As songs of the angels in sweetest accord,
Our thanks and our praises shall rise to the Lord.

Lyrics
Blessed he, who does not follow
The ungodly counsel's course,
Shuns deceitful thoughts and actions
And the way of sin ignores;
Who the mockers' horde does spurn
And whose thoughts to wisdom turn.

Those whose hearts delight and pleasure
In God's law and teaching find,
And whose souls find joy and pasture
In His ways and mercies kind;
All such lives a true light show,
And no falt'ring weakness know.

Such are as the green trees growing
And by brooks and rivers seen,
Where the fruits are never tardy
And whose leaves are ever green,
Where the sunrays and the heat
Help the rip'ning to complete.

For their faith takes root, is grounded
Deep in God's true Word and light,
Where its life's support is founded
And love's flame be comes more bright,
Where their hope does bloom and grow
And the light of life does glow.

But of such are not the mockers
Of ungodly, wicked mind,
Who in trials and afflictions
Are as chaff before the wind;
As the grass that is today
Soon does fade and pass away.

Scorners, who the Lord would flatter
In the judgment shall not stand;
Likewise they who discord scatter
Perish as the sinking sand;
Sinful ways shall not endure,
But the righteous way is sure.
