Lyrics

O God, my heart is stead­fast;
With all my soul I sing;
I give You praise, O Lord.
Sweet mu­sic I will make;
The dawn I will awake;
Hear now my praise, O Lord!

Among the ma­ny na­tions
And peo­ples on this earth,
I’ll sing Your praise, O Lord.
For great is Your vast love,
High as the heav’ns ab­ove;
Hear now my praise, O Lord!

Your faith­ful­ness is great, Lord;
It reach­es to the skies;
I sing Your praise, O Lord.
With You the vic­to­ry’s close;
You tram­ple down my foes;
Hear now my praise, O Lord!

O God, be now ex­alt­ed
Above the heav­ens high;
I sing Your praise, O Lord.
And let Your glo­ry be
O’er all the land and sea;
Hear now my praise, O Lord!
