Thanks do I give to the Lord 

With my whole heart evermore. 

Thanks do I give to the Lord 

For his faithfulness and love.

In the presence of angels I will bless him 

And adore him before his holy temple. 

On the days I called he answered; 

He increased the strength of my soul. 

For the Lord looks with favour on the humble, 

From afar, he marks down the proud. 

Though I live in the midst of affliction, 

My life he preserves against my foes. 

You stretch out your hand, O Lord, you save me, 

And your right hand will do all things for me. 

For your steadfast love endures for ever. 

Don't abandon the works your hand has made.
