Lyrics

The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:

I will bless the Lord and give Him glory,
O, I will bless His name and give Him glory.

1 The Lord is gracious and merciful
Great in kindness and good to all
The Lord is righteous in all His ways
Bless the Lord and give Him praise.

2: He's near to all, who will call on Him.
And loves the righteous, who fear His name.
He'll reign forever as Lord and King.
Lift your voice with praise and sing.
