Truth in Song ‎#74

74. I Cannot Refrain from Praising Him

1 Oh, when I remember God’s goodness to me,
I cannot refrain from praising him;
When he from such bondage hath set me free,
I cannot refrain from praising him.

Refrain:
I cannot refrain from praising him,
I cannot refrain from praising him;
For when I remember his goodness to me,
I cannot refrain from praising him.

2 Oh, when I remember his goodness to me,
I cannot refrain from praising him;
The tho’t makes me happy as happy can be,
I cannot refrain from praising him. [Refrain]

3 Oh, when I remember his goodness to me,
I cannot refrain from praising him;
His Son freely suffered on Calvary’s tree,
I cannot refrain from praising him. [Refrain]

4 Oh, when I remember his goodness to me,
I cannot refrain from praising him;
All over creation his goodness I see,
I cannot refrain from praising him. [Refrain]
