How can I thank You, Lord
Lyrics
- How can I thank You, Lord,
For all Your loving-kindness,
That You have patiently
Borne with me in my blindness!
When dead in many sins
And trespasses I lay,
I kindled, holy God,
Your anger ev'ry day. - It is Your work alone
That I am now converted;
O'er Satan's work in me
You have Your pow'r asserted.
Your mercy and Your grace
That rise afresh each morn
Have turned my stony heart
Into a heart newborn. - Lord, You have raised me up
To joy and exultation,
And clearly shown the way
That leads me to salvation.
My sins are washed away;
For this I thank You, Lord.
Now with my heart and soul
All evil I abhor. - Grant that Your Spirit's help
To me be always given
Lest I should fall again
And lose the way to heaven;
Grant that He give me strength
In my infirmity;
May He renew my heart
To serve You willingly.
