[Verse 1]
            C     G
How good it is to sing
             C      Am7 D
To bring our praise to  Him
               C     Am7   D  G
Whose love and mercy knows no end
              C       G
He brings the sun and rain
              C    Am7 D
He calls each star by  name
       C        Am7   D    G
The universe resounds with praise


[Chorus]
            D      Em             C   G
O shout for joy to God and sing a new song
          D       Em7             Am7  D
Extol the Lord of life for His provi - sion
         D         Em                 C    Em
And He delights in those who love and fear Him
              C         Am7  D  G
All those who put their hope in God


[Verse 2]
           C   G
He gathers families
            C     Am7 D
Orphans and ref - u - gees
              C         Am7   D   G
And binds the wounds of those who mourn
           C      G
The humble lifted high
             C     Am7 D
The proud He casts a - side
            C        Am7 D   G
His justice faithful as  the dawn


[Chorus]
            D      Em             C   G
O shout for joy to God and sing a new song
          D       Em7             Am7  D
Extol the Lord of life for His provi - sion
         D         Em                 C    Em
And He delights in those who love and fear Him
              C         Am7  D  C
All those who put their hope in God

[Verse 3]
               C       G
What friend or foe can last
           C Am7 D
Before His icy   blast?
              C      Am7 D   G
The winds and waves obey His voice
          C       G
Yet mercy will prevail
              C  Am7 D
His love will re-con-cile
            C      Am7   D  G
The nations of the earth to Him

Extol the Lord of life for His provi - sion

All those who put their hope in God
