65. I Will Bless the Lord

1 I will bless the Lord and praise Him evermore,
In His name my trust shall be;
I will sing His praise and triumph in His grace,
For His righteousness avails for me.

Refrain:
With Him own right hand He leadeth me,
And the way grows bright as I go;
For with Him I walk by rivers of delight,
Where the living waters gently flow.

2 I will bless the Lord, whose tender, loving care
Has been with me all my days;
He has filled my life with blessings ever new,
And merciful are all His way. [Refrain]

3 I will bless the Lord, my Shelter and Defence,
I will trust, and fear no ill;
Tho’ I walk alone the valley and the shade,
His rod and staff shall comfort still. [Refrain]
