Lyrics

Praise ye the Lord, for He is good;
Give thanks and bless His name;
His lovingkindness changes not,
From age to age the same.

Refrain

Praise ye the Lord, and give Him thanks,
For bountiful is He;
His tender mercy shall endure
To all eternity.

The Lord will bless and prosper those,
Yea, blest indeed are they,
Whose ways are just, who constantly
His righteous law obey.

Refrain

Let me behold Thy people’s good
And in their joy rejoice;
With Thy triumphant heritage
Let me lift up my voice.
