8716. I Will Praise Thee Every Day

1 I will praise Thee every day,
Now Thine anger’s turned away!
Comfortable thoughts arise
From the bleeding sacrifice.

2 Here in the fair Gospel field,
Wells of free salvation yield
Streams of life, a plenteous store,
And my soul shall thirst no more.

3 Jesus is become at length
My salvation and my strength;
And His praises shall prolong,
While I live, my pleasant song.

4 Praise ye, then, His glorious name,
Publish His exalted fame!
Still His worth your praise exceeds,
Excellent are all His deeds.

5 Raise again the joyful sound,
Let the nations roll it round!
Zion shout, for this is He,
God the Savior dwells in Thee.
