. My Saviour's praises I will sing,
And all his love express;
Whose mercies each returning day
Proclaim his faithfulness.
Refrain:
"Ev'ry day will I bless Thee!
Ev'ry day will I bless Thee!
And I will praise, will praise thy Name
For ever and ever!"
2 Redeemed by gis almighty pow'r,
My Saviour and my King;
My confidence in him I place,
To him my soul would cling. [Refrain]
3 On thee alone, my Saviour, God,
My steadfast hopes depend;
And to thy holy will my soul
Submissively would bend. [Refrain]
4 O grant thy Holy Spirit's grace,
And aid my feeble pow'rs,
That gladly I may follow thee
Thro' all my future hours. [Refrain]
Amen.
