Lyrics (Psalm 145:10-11, 15-16, 17-18):

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

stained glass bulletLet all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
and let your faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might.

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.
