Analysis of God Restores
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
It is good to sing praise to God,
Songs of praise fitting and pleasant;
Praises Him to honor and laud,
As He remains omnipresent.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem,
Gathers outcasts of Israel;
The heathen He will condemn,
Because of their acts are evil.
He will mend the brokenhearted,
While healing up any wound;
The souls of those who departed,
Comforting as He has communed.
He defines the number of stars.
And giving all of them their names;
Leaving no unattended scars,
That may be the devil inflames.
Great is the Lord with great power,
He understands beyond measure;
Although we know not the hour,
On His return, we will treasure.
The Lord lifts up the humbled meek,
He casts the wicked to the ground;
Comforting all of those who seek,
Desires to be heaven-bound.
