1. With grateful heart my thanks I bring,
Before the great thy praise I sing:
I worship in thy holy place
And praise thee for thy truth and grace;
For truth and grace together shine
In thy most holy Word divine.
2. I cried to thee and thou didst save,
Thy Word of grace new courage gave;
The kings of earth
shall thank thee, Lord,
For they have heard
thy wondrous word;
Yea, they shall come
with songs of praise,
For great and glorious are thy ways.
3. O Lord, enthroned in glory bright,
Thou reignest in the heavenly height;
The proud in vain thy favor seek,
But thou hast mercy for the meek;
Through trouble
though my pathway be,
Thou wilt revive and strengthen me.
4. Thou wilt stretch forth thy mighty arm
To save me when my foes alarm;
The work thou hast for me begun
Shall by thy grace be fully done;
For ever mercy dwells with thee;
O Lord, my Maker, think on me.
