The Lord shall [c]preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
I love the Lord; he heard my cries,
And pitied every groan;

What shall I render to my God
for all his kindness shown?
my feet shall visit thine abode,

He does whatever He pleases. Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous
O may the sons of men record
The wondrous goodness of the Lord
How great his works! how kind his ways!
Let every tongue pronounce his praise
Give thanks to God, He reigns above,
Kind are His thoughts, His name is Love
Upward Ever...
