I Will Praise Him

1 I will praise him, I will praise him,
I will sing unto the Lord;
For his plenteous, free compassion,
Round the earth like floods outpoured;
Reaching ev'ry tribe and nation,
To the earth’s remotest line,
Touching, cleansing, healing, saving,--
Oh, the breadth of love divine!

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! [Refrain]

4 I will praise him, I will praise him,
I will sing unto the Lord;
Loud extol the royal bounty
His full treasuries afford;
Half his goodness was not told me!
Oh, what glories in him shine!
I can never, never tell it,
All the height of love divine! [Refrain]

5 I will praise him, I will praise him,--
Holy Ghost, my song indite,--
For the love that passeth knowledge,
Length and breadth and depth and height;
Sing, O earth! let every creature
Help this feeble tongue of mine
To declare a love so precious,
Endless, infinite, divine!--[Refrain]
