THANKS DO I GIVE TO THE LORD

Thanks do I give to the Lord

with my whole heart evermore.

Thanks do I give to the Lord

for his faithfulness and love.

In the presence of angels I will bless him

and adore him before his holy temple.

On the days I called he answered;

he increased the strength of my soul.

For the Lord looks with favour on the humble,

From afar, he marks down the proud.

Though I live in the midst of affliction,

my life he preserves against my foes.

You stretch out your hand, O Lord, you save me, and

your right hand will do all things for me.

For your steadfast love endures for ever.

Don’t abandon the works your hand has made.
