Lyrics

I will praise the Lord my glo­ry,
I will praise the Lord my light;
He my cloud by day to co­ver,
He my fire to guide by night.

Refrain

I will praise Thee with my whole heart,
Will praise Thee, O Lord;
I will be glad and re­joice in Thee,
O Thou most high.

I will praise the Lord my pro­phet,
Holy priest and right­eous king;
With the an­gels who adore Him,
Holy, holy, I will sing.

Refrain

I will praise the Lord my shep­herd,
Keeper, Pas­ture, Door and Fold;
O’er the lone­ly hills He sought me,
When the night was dark and cold.

Refrain

I will praise the Lord my Fa­ther,
Savior, bro­ther, guide and friend;
He thus far in life hath led me,
He will lead me to the end.

Refrain

I will love Him, I will trust Him,
All the rem­nant of my days;
And will sing thro’ end­less ag­es,
Only my Re­deem­er’s praise.
