Refrain: I will praise him, I will praise him, Ever be his name adored; Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Praise the Lord. 2 I will praise him, I will praise him, Witness to his love for me; How he chose, and sought, and found me, With his grace so full and free; How he leads me on with blessing, Closely holds this hand of mine, Keeps me when I shrink and falter,— Oh, the length of love divine. [Refrain] 3 I will praise him, I will praise him, I will sing unto the Lord, For the joy of his salvation Shining from his holy word; Amply freighted with his mercy Is each sacred page and line, Even to the chief of sinners,— Oh, the depth of love divine!
