HYMN 661

(FE 687) PM
"Oh Lord my God I will give thanks 
to Thee forever" - Ps. 30:22



1. I will extol Thee oh! God Almighty,

    For Thou hast lifted me on high

    And hast not made my foes rejoice over me 

    Glory, honour to Thy Name.

Chorus: Praises, glory honour to Thy Name 

              Power and might be unto The Lord, 

              Thousand? of tongues Praise and hallow thee 

              We fall, bow and worship thee.


2.  O’ Lord, my God, I did cry unto thee,

     And Thou hast healed me from sickness

     As Thou hast brought up my soul from the grave 

     And not to goto the pit.

Chorus: Praises, glory honour...


3.  Sing unto The Lord O! ye Seraphim 

     And give thanks to His Holiness

     His anger endureth but for a moment, 

     In His favour life exusts.

Chorus: Praises, glory honour...


4.  Weeping may endure for only a night, 

     But joy will come in the morning 

     Peace, strength and vigour return in the day 

     I am to my steadfast call.

Chorus: Praises, glory honour...


5.  When Thou didst hide thy countenance 

     from me 

     I was troubled and cried to thee; 

     Ah! what profit shall there be in my blood 

     When I go down to the pit?

Chorus: Praises, glory honour...


6.  This way my Lord hearkened to my prayers 

      And turned my mourning to dancing

     Thou hast put off sacloth from my body

     And with gladness guarded me.

Chorus: Praises, glory honour...


7.  To this end my glory shall sing, and praise, 

     Sing joyful songs unto the Lord,

     I will sing hymns of praises to The Lord 

     Forever Him will I praise.

Chorus: Praises, glory honour to Thy Name 

              Power and might be unto The Lord, 

              Thousand? of tongues Praise and hallow thee 

              We fall, bow and worship thee.  Amen
