Lyrics

What shall I ren­der to the Lord
For all His be­ne­fits to me?
How shall my soul, by grace re­stored,
Give wor­thy thanks, O Lord, to Thee?

Salvation’s cup of bless­ing now
I take, and call up­on God’s name;
Before His saints I pay my vow
And here my gra­ti­tude pro­claim.

His saints the Lord de­lights to save,
Their death is pre­cious in His sight;
He has re­deemed me from the grave,
And in His ser­vice I de­light.

With thank­ful heart I of­fer now
My gift, and call up­on God’s name;
Before His saints I pay my vow
And here my gra­titude pro­claim.

Within His house, the house of pray­er,
I de­di­cate my­self to God;
Let all His saints His grace de­clare
And join to sound His praise abroad.
