The Thankful Hearts
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I give God thanks with my whole heart,
Before others, I sing His praise;
As His Word my lips do impart,
Abide what His command conveys.
I worship at His Holy place,
In giving thanks as I proclaim;
For the steadfast love in His grace,
And faithfulness into His name.
His truth exalted from above,
All things in His name and His Word;
Strength for my soul comes from His love,
From all I have seen and have heard.
All earthly kings shall give Him thanks,
They have heard His Word from His lips;
Holds more wealth than all of the banks,
Mightier than all the warships.
We shall sing the ways of the Lord,
Because of His glory is great;
And we must walk in one accord,
All that He did to appreciate.
For even though the Lord is high,
He has respect for the lowly;
But the haughty and proud deny,
He considers them unholy.
Though I walk in amongst trouble,
He preserves my life with His hand;
As He pulls me from the rubble,
Puts me on solid rock to stand.
The Lord will fulfill His purpose,
In me with grace and steadfast love;
For guiding me with His compass,
Forever enduring thereof.
