Verse 1

THEE will I praise with all my heart, And tell mankind how good Thou art, How marvellous Thy works of grace; Thy name I will in songs record, And joy and glory in my Lord, Extolled above all thanks and praise.

Verse 2

The Lord will save His people here; In times of need their Help is near To all by sin and hell oppressed; And they that know Thy name will trust In Thee, who to Thy promise just, Hast never left a soul distressed.

Verse 3

The Lord is by His judgments known; He helps His poor afflicted one, His sorrows all he bears in mind; The mourner shall not always weep, Who sows in tears in joy shall reap, With grief who seeks with joy shall find.

Verse 4

A helpless soul that looks to thee Is sure at last Thy face to see, And all Thy goodness to partake The sinner who for Thee doth grieve, And longs, and labours to believe, Thou never, never wilt forsake.
