Oh Observe!

"O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.... Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!.... Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord" (Psalm 107:1,2,8,43).

Oh that men would look around
And open up their eyes
To see the lovingkindness found
In God, so good and wise!

His works in all creation speak
Of mercies from the Lord
From every splendid mountain peak
To ocean depths explored!

Above the wonders of creation
Which we cannot exhaust,
We see the work of His salvation,
Redeeming thus the lost!

Lord, Your works are wonderful,
As Your redeemed can say,
In Christ, Your Gift unspeakable,
Who washed our sins away!

We pray that we may yet observe
His beauty more and more,
That we with greater love may serve
The Christ whom we adore!
