I will praise your name forever,
my king and my God.

Gracious and merciful is the Lord,
slow to anger, full of love.
The Lord is good in ev'ry way,
merciful to ev'ry creature.

Let your works praise you, O Lord,
your faithful ones bless you.
Let them proclaim your glorious reign,
let them tell of your might.

Let them make known to all
your might and glorious reign.
Your dominion lasts forever,
your rule for all generations.

[Verse 4]
The eyes of all look with hope to you,
and you give them food in due season;
you open your hand and you quench
the desire of ev'ry living thing.

The Lord is just in ev'ry way
and holy in all his works.
The Lord is near to all who call,
who call out in truth.
