I Will Praise Thee

I Will Praise Thee

 

I praise Thee, O Lord, with all of my heart;

 From all Thy precepts I’ll never depart.

I’ll be glad and rejoice, and sing praise to Thy Name;

 Most High and Holy, Thou art ever the same.

 

All mine enemies shall perish and fall

 At Thy glorious presence, O blest Lord of All.

For Thou hast maintained my cause and my right;

 I trust, Lord, in Thee, in Thy power and might.

 

Thou destroyeth the wicked; their oppression shall cease;

 I’ll seek Thee, Lord, for then I’ll have peace.

Thou settest Thy glory far over the skies;

 Thou makest the sun in the morning to rise.

 

The moon and the stars Thou hast ordained;

 Yet Thou carest for me with love unfeigned!

Down from the willows my harp I will take;

 My mouth shall sing praises each morn when I wake!
