O Give Thanks Unto Our GodWords: anonymous, from Psalm 118 Music: 1. O give thanks unto our God; blessed be His name His mercy shall always endure; and His kindness never fails. Let Israel confess to God, "His mercy always shall endure; Let Aaron's house-hold now repeat, that His mercy never fails! 2. I called upon the Lord my God; in distress I cried! He answered me and set me free; put your confidence in God. With the Eternal on my side, why should I fear what men can do? Trust not in princes nor in man; better far to trust in God! 3. All nations compassed me about, compassed me like bees; But the Eternal is my strength; in His name I cut them off. Open the gates of righteousness, where all the righteous enter in; I shall not die but I shall live, and shall tell of all His works! 4. O give thanks unto our God; He has answered me! He my salvation has become, He the chief, the corner-stone. He by the builders was refused; He was rejected by His own. God is the Lord who shows us light; Bless-ed be the name of God! |
