1. The Lord my God be praised,
   My Light, my Life from heaven;
   My Maker, who to me
   Hath soul and body given;
   My Father, who doth shield
   And keep me day by day,
   Doth make each moment yield
   New blessings on my way.

2. The Lord my God be praised,
   My Trust, my Life from heaven,
   The Father’s own dear Son,
   Whose life for me was given;
   Who for my sin atoned
   With His most precious blood,
   Who giveth me by faith
   The highest heav’nly good.

3. The Lord my God be praised,
   My Hope, my Life from heaven,
   The Spirit, whom the Son
   In love to me hath given.
   ’Tis He revives my heart,
   ’Tis He that gives me pow’r,
   Help, comfort, and support
   In sorrow’s gloomy hour.

4. The Lord my God be praised,
   My God, who ever liveth,
   To whom the heav’nly host
   All praise and honor giveth.
   The Lord my God be praised,
   In whose great name I boast,
   God Father, God the Son,
   And God the Holy Ghost.

5. To Him with joyful song
   Our praises we are bringing
   And with the angel throng
   The “Holy! Holy!” singing.
   With one united voice
   The Church doth Him adore.
   The Lord my God be praised
   Now and forevermore.
