Text:O give thanks unto the Lord
Alterer:C. H. S.
Author:Joseph Irons

107a. O give thanks unto the Lord

1 O GIVE thanks unto the Lord;
Praise His name with one accord;
Tell the wonders of His pow'r;
Praise His goodness ev'ry hour.

2 Let His ransom'd church begin,
Whom He hath redeem'd from sin,
Gather'd from the east and west,
North and south, to enter rest.

3 Through the wilderness they stray
In a solitary way;
Hungry, thirsty, tried, and faint,
God attends to their complaint.

4 Led by Him from day to day,
Right, although mysterious, way,
To His city they shall come,
Habitation, rest, and home.

5 O that men would praise the Lord,
While His goodness they record;
All His wondrous works rehearse,
Who redeem'd them from the curse.
