82. Give Thanks

1 O give thanks unto the Lord,
Give thanks, give thanks!
Swell the full, triumphant chord,
Give thanks!
For his wonderful creation,
For his glorious salvation,
Give all praise and adoration,
O give thanks, give thanks.

Refrain:
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good,
For his mercy endureth forever;
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good,
For his mercy endureth forever,
O give thanks, O give thanks.

2 For the way in which he leads,
Give thanks, give thanks!
Timely care in all our needs,
Give thanks!
Daily bread his hand providing,
Pathway thro’ the seas dividing,
Thro’ the desert safely guiding,
O give thanks, give thanks. [Refrain]

3 For the greatness of his might,
Give thanks, give thanks!
All in vain his foes unite,
Give thanks!
For his banner o’er us streaming,
For his love upon us beaming,
For his grace our souls redeeming,
O give thanks, give thanks. [Refrain]
