You who fear God, I will tell: come, hear, and worship with me! Hear what the Lord has done for my soul, what great things he has performed. When I called on him with my mouth, when trouble pressed from every side, often in that very hour a song of praise was on my tongue.

Matthias Jorissen

The Lord remembers his mercy, and his truth stands firm; he carries his people on his arms and helps when all else fails us. Soon the whole circle of the earth shall see how our God's favor delights. God wills that it become an Eden; praise, earth, God's glory!

Matthias Jorissen

Praised be God and highly exalted, for he does not reject my prayer; he has never turned me away and is my light in darkness. Though I am ever wretched, needy, and defenseless among enemies here, yet he, the Lord, never leaves me, never turns his goodness from me.
