404 - Praise to God

 

 

1. We will extol you, ever blessed Lord;

your holy Name for ever be adored;

each day we live our psalm to you we raise;

you, God and King, are worthy of all praise,

great and unsearchable in all your ways.

 

2. Age shall to age pass on the endless song,

telling the wonders which to you belong,

your mighty acts with joy and fear relate;

praise we your glory while on you we wait,

glad in the knowledge of your love so great.

 

 

 

3. You, Lord, are gracious, merciful to all,

close to your children when on you they call;

and slow to anger, merciful and kind,

in your compassion we your blessings find.

We love you with our heart and strength and mind.

 

 

The first stanza may be repeated at the end.
