¶Lyrics / Text

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now confess that he is gracious: and that his mercy endureth for ever. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: yea, all such as call upon him faithfully. My heart was disquieted within me: and the fear of death was fall’n upon me. But in my trouble, I called upon the Lord: and he delivered me out of my distress. Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul: for the Lord hath rewarded thee. O praise the Lord with me: and let us magnify his name together. Behold, O God our defender: and look upon the face of thine anointed. O prepare thy loving mercy and faithfulness, that they may preserve him. Let his seed endure for ever: and his throne as the days of heav’n. So will we always sing praise unto thy name. Amen. Hallelujah.
