Lyrics

What shall I ren­der to the Lord,
What shall my of­fer­ing be,
For all the gra­cious be­ne­fits
He has be­stowed on me?

Salvation’s cup my soul will take
While to the Lord I pray,
And with His peo­ple I will meet,
My thank­ful vows to pay.

Not light­ly does the Lord per­mit
His chos­en saints to die;
From death Thou hast de­liv­ered me,
Thy ser­vant, Lord, am I.

The sac­ri­fice of praise I bring
While to the Lord I pray,
And with His peo­ple I will meet,
My thank­ful vows to pay.

Within His house, the house of pray­er,
My soul shall bless the Lord,
And prais­es to His ho­ly name
Let all His saints ac­cord.
