74. I Will Praise Thee

1 I will praise the Lord my glory,
I will praise the Lord my light.
He my cloud by day to cover,
He my fire to guide by night.

Refrain:
I will praise thee with my whole heart, will praise thee, O Lord;
I will be glad and rejoice in thee, O Thou most high.

2 I will praise the Lord my prophet,
Holy priest and righteous king,
With the angels who adore him,
“Holy, holy,” I will sing. [Refrain]

3 I will praise the Lord my Shepherd,
Keeper, Pasture, Door and Fold.
O’er the lonely hills he sought me,
When the night was dark and cold. [Refrain]

4 I will praise the Lord my Father,
Savior, Brother, Guide and Friend,
He thus far in life hath led me,
He will lead me to the end. [Refrain]

5 I will love Him, I will trust Him,
All the remnant of my days,
And will sing thro’ endless ages,
Naught but my Redeemer’s praise. [Refrain]
