Lord, we praise Thee for Thy goodness

1.
Lord, we praise Thee for Thy goodness,
For Thy mercy, love, and care.
Thou hast foreordained our pathway,
That Thy glory we may share.
Hallelujah! Songs of triumph
/: By Thy grace we now can sing. :/
2.
Faithfully our footsteps guiding,
Thou dost teach us to obey.
Thus we’ll follow in Thy footsteps
On the new and living way.
Hallelujah! Songs of triumph
/: By Thy grace we now can sing. :/
3.
If we here will share Thy suff’rings,
Daily learn our cross to bear,
Then we’ll also share Thy nature;
Lord, with this can naught compare.
Hallelujah! Songs of triumph
/: By Thy grace we now can sing. :/
4.
Thus our every light affliction
Works for us eternally
An exceeding weight of glory;
This the eye of faith can see.
Hallelujah! Songs of triumph
/: By Thy grace we now can sing. :/
5.
Jesus, help us to be faithful;
Us by grace and pow’r sustain.
Then, dear Lord, at Thine appearing,
As Thy bride, with Thee we’ll reign.
Hallelujah! Songs of gladness—
/: Lo, our heav’nly Bridegroom comes! :/
