Text:Bonum est confiteri
Tune:[It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord]
Composer:J. Heywood

664. Bonum est confiteri

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD,
and to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most Highest;

2 To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning,
and of thy truth in the night season;

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute,
upon a loud instrument and upon the harp.

4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy works;
and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
