Christine Dieckmann
Psalm 1:1–3
1. Blessèd is the man,
Blessèd is the man
Who does not walk in the counsel of the
wicked,
Or stand in the way of sinners,
Or sit in the seat of scoffers!
Blessèd is the man.
But his delight is in the law,
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And on His law he meditates,
And on His law he meditates day and
night.
2. He is like a tree
Planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in season,
And its leaf does not wither;
Whatever he does, prospers,
Blessèd is the man.

Psalm 136:1–9
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good;
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good,
His love endures forever.
To Him who alone does great wonders,
Who by His understanding made the
heavens,
Who spread out the earth upon the
waters,
His love endures forever;
Who made the great lights,
The sun to govern the day,
The moon and stars to govern the night,
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good,
His love endures forever.

1. It does not yet appear—
The glory that weʼll see;
Nor does it yet appear—
The glory that weʼll be.
The Father in His steadfast love
Planned all before He made
The wondrous world of human life
And heavenʼs everglade.
He planned out of His Fatherʼs heart,
Destined that we should be
In glory like His only Son
In one great family.
2. His only Son in love
Redeemed the fallen race,
That through His agony
Heʼd bring us face to face
With Him whose purity is such
That heaven, earth and sky
Before that holiness must flee
And from His goodness fly.
Yet mercy of His faithful love
Ordains our glorious end.
We shall be like His Son of love
Who does His glory lend.
3. Foreʼer weʼll too be pure
And see Him face to face;
Worship Him in purity—
One wholly human race.
All glorified, all glorified,
Washed in our Saviourʼs tears—
The glory of His Calvary
And free for endless years.
What love of Father, love of Son,
And love of Holy Ghost.
What glory to Them evermore
And to Their filial host.
