223. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,
and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most Highest

2 To tell of thy loving kindness early in the morning,
and of thy truth in the night season.

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute,
upon a loud instrument, and upon the harp.

4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy works,
and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands.

5 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost.

6 As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
