O GIVE thanks unto the Lord,

O GIVE thanks unto the Lord, Praise His name with one accord; Tell the wonders of His power,

Let His ransom'd church begin, Whom He hath redeem'd from sin, Gather'd from the east and west, North and south, to enter rest.

Through the wilderness they stray, In a solitary way; Hungry, thirsty, tried and faint; God attends to their complaint.

Led by Him from day to day, Right, although mysterious way, To His city they shall come, Habitation, rest, and home.

Oh that men would praise the Lord, While His goodness they record; All His wondrous works rehearse, Who redeem'd them from the curse.
