I Will Praise Him

Verse 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!

Chorus

I will praise him, I will praise him, Ever be his name adored; Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Praise the Lord.

Verse 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!

Verse 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!

Verse 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!

Verse 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!--
