73. I Will Extol Thee, O My God

1 I will extol Thee, O my God,
And praise Thee, O my King;
Yea, ev'ry day and evermore
Thy praises I will sing.

Refrain:
Ev'ry day will I bless Thee;
Ev'ry day will I bless Thee;
And I will praise, will praise Thy name
Forever and ever.

2 Great is the Lord, our mighty God,
And greatly to be praised;
His greatness is unsearchable,
Above all glory raised. [Refrain]

3 Upon Thy glorious majesty
And honor I will dwell,
And all Thy grand and glorious works
And all Thy greatness tell. [Refrain]

4 The Lord, our God, is good to all,
From Him all blessing flows;
On all His works His tender love
And mercy He bestows. [Refrain]
