Lyrics (Psalm 145:8-9, 15-16, 17-18):

Response: The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

stained glass bulletThe LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works. Response

stained glass bulletThe eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due season;
you open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

stained glass bulletThe LORD is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.
