Verse 1

Thee will I praise with all my heart, And tell mankind how good thou art, How marvelous 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 ones, 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.
