I Give Thanks O Lord

I give thanks O Lord with my whole heart
Before the gods I sing Thy praise
I bow down to Thy holy temple and give
Thanks to Thy name
And give thanks to Thy name

For Thy steadfast love and faithfulness
Thy steadfast love and faithfulness
I give Thee thanks O Lord
I give Thee thanks O Lord

For Thou hast exalted above everything
Thy name and Thy word on high
On the day I called Thou didst answer me
My strength my soul Thou didst increase
My strength my soul Thou didst increase

Thou dost stretch out Thy hand against my foes
Thy right hand delivers me
The Lord will fulfil His purpose for me
Thy steadfast love endures for ever
Thy steadfast love endures for ever
