SELECT VERSES FROM THE 147TH PSALM . PRAISE ye the Lord with cheerful voice , In swelling strains his praises sing , It makes the grateful heart rejoice , It is a blest and pleasant thing . He who the broken heart doth brace , And bindeth up the wounded frame , Numbers the host through heaven's vast space , And gives to every star its name . With fleecy clouds he clothes the sky , He stores the moistened earth with good , From him the ravens when they cry , And savage beasts receive their food . He sends afar his high behests , Which sea and land with blessings fill ; Swift flies his word , no power arrests The course of his almighty will .
