1. Praise the Lord, for he is good,
His love is e-ter-nal.
Praise the great-est God of all,
His love is e-ter-nal.
Give thanks to the Lord of Lords,
His love is e-ter-nal.
He a-lone does might-y deeds,
His love is e-ter-nal.
2. He in wis-dom made the skies,
His love is e-ter-nal.
He the earth spread o'er the seas,
His love is e-ter-nal.
He made lights to rule the sky,
His love is e-ter-nal.
Sun by day; moon, stars by night,
His love is e-ter-nal.
3. He re-mem-bered us when low,
His love is e-ter-nal.
He has saved us from our foes,
His love is e-ter-nal.
He gives food to all that live,
His love is e-ter-nal.
Give thanks to the God of heav'n,
His love is e-ter-nal.
