I will give you glory, my God above,
and I will bless your name forever.
Every day I will bless and
praise your name forever.
The Lord is full of grace and mercy,
who is kind and slow to anger,
God is good in every way,
and full of compassion.
Let all your works give you thanks, O Lord,
and let all the faithful bless you.
Let them speak of your might, O Lord,
the glory of Your kingdom.
The Lord is faithful in word and deed,
and always near, His name is holy.
Lifting up all those who fall,
