Make music to the Lord most high

1.
Make music to the Lord most high
whose praise is our delight. 
We sing your love as day begins, 
your faithfulness by night. 

2.
Lord, when we see all you have done 
our songs of joy resound. 
Your handiwork, how vast it is, 
your counsels, how profound! 

3.
The godless mind will never know, 
because its sense is void: 
that though the wicked spread like grass, 
they all shall be destroyed. 

4.
Forever, Lord, you are supreme. 
Your throne remains on high, 
while rebels meet eternal doom 
and evildoers die. 

5.
How like the cedar and the palm 
the righteous stand serene. 
There flourish in the house of God, 
their leaves are fresh and green. 

6.
To fruitful age they still proclaim 
the Lord who makes them new - 
our God, in whom no wrong is found, 
my Rock, forever true.
