128. The Lord my God be praised

1 THE LORD my God be praised,
My Light, my Life from heaven,
My Maker, who to me
Has soul and body given,
My Father, who protects
My life from infancy,
And mighty gifts of love
Hath e'er bestowed on me.

2 The Lord my God be praised,
My Trust, my Life from heaven,
The Father's own dear Son,
Whose life for me was given,
Who thus atoned for me
With His most precious blood,
Who giveth to my faith
The greatest heavenly good.

3 The Lord my God be praised,
My Hope, my Life from heaven,
The Father's Spirit, whom
The Son to me hath given:
He who revives my heart,
And gives me strength and power,
Help, comfort and support
In sorrow's gloomy hour.

4 The Lord my God be praised,
He who forever liveth,
To whom the heavenly host
E'er praise and honor giveth;
The Lord my God be praised,
In whose great name I boast,
God Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost.

5 To Him we now sing praise,
With joy our offering bringing,
And with the angel host.
The "Holy! Holy!" singing
To Him all Christendom
Sings praises joyfully;
the Lord my God be praised
Throughout eternity!
