Lyrics:
Cantor:
Praise is due to you, O God, our Beloved.
To you alone we devote our lives.
O you who answer prayer!
To you all flesh shall come.
Congregation (Refrain):
The river of God is full of water.
Praise to you, O God!
By mighty deeds you deliver us.
You are the hope of all people on earth. ...Refrain
Morning and evening resound with joy.
We are silent in awe. —Refrain
You bless the earth and water it,
granting the blessing of bountiful growth. ...Refrain
Meadows and wilderness overflow,
wearing their finest in joy. ...Refrain
When the depth of our sin overwhelms us,
you forgive all our transgressions.
How blessed we are, O God,
that you hold us near your heart. ...Refrain
