Representative Text

1 I bless the Lord whose faithful hand
Has led me all my days,
Who fills my soul with holy joy,
My tongue with sweetest praise.

Refrain:
I will sing, I will sing,
A song to Him my heart shall raise,
Who fills my soul with holy joy,
My tongue with sacred praise.

2 I bless the Lord whose tender care
Is o’er me day by day;
Who gently chides my wayward heart,
And takes my sins away. [Refrain]

3 In pleasant vales He guides my feet,
Where rose and lily grow,
Then bids me rest beneath the shade,
Where brook and fountain flow. [Refrain]

4 I bless the Lord whose wondrous love
Prepares a home for me;
A glorious home not made with hands,
Beyond the narrow sea. [Refrain]
