Lyrics
"Hyfrydol" by R.H. Prichard
Tell His praise in song and story,
Bless the Lord with heart and voice;
In my God is all my glory,
Come before Him and rejoice.
Join to praise His Name together,
He who hears His people's cry;
Tell His praise, come wind or weather,
Shining faces lifted high.
To the Lord whose love has found them
Cry the poor in their distress;
Swift His angels camped around them
Prove Him sure to save and bless.
God it is who hears our crying
Though the spark of faith be dim;
Taste and see! Beyond denying
Bless'd are those who trust in Him.
Taste and see! In faith draw near Him,
Trust the Lord with all your powers;
Seek and serve Him, love and fear Him,
Life and all its joys are ours:
True delight in holy living,
Peace and plenty, length of days;
Come, my children, with thanksgiving
Bless the Lord in songs of praise!
In our need He walks beside us,
Ears alert to every cry;
Watchful eyes to guard and guide us,
Love that whispers `It is I.'
Good shall triumph, wrong be righted,
God has pledged His promised word;
So with ransomed saints united
Join to praise our living Lord!

When we praise Him together—in storm or sunshine—our focus shifts from our troubles to the One who faithfully hears every cry. In Christ, our glory is not in our own strength, but in His unchanging love that has found us. Today, let your heart rejoice as you join with others to exalt His steadfast Name.
