1000 Songs/Give thanks to the Lord for He is good Ps 118

Text
Give thanks to the Lord for He is good Ps 118 Give thanks to God, for He is good. His love endures forever. Give praise to Him, the Lord of Lords. His love endures forever. He spread the earth and sea and sky. He filled them all with light and life. May God alone be lifted high! His love endures forever.

Give thanks to God, for He is good. His love endures forever. He brought us out from sin and death. His love endures forever. He stood and stretched His mighty hand. He bowed Himself, became a man? A gulf that only love could span. His love endures forever.

Give thanks to God, for He is good. His love endures forever. We join the song that never ends: His love endures forever. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! His love endures forever. 1000 Songs=== Author ===
