Give thanks to God for He is good,
the everlasting Giver:
let all his people praise the LORD
whose love endures for ever.
For his right hand has made me strong;
I am his new creation:
he is my God, he is my song,
my strength and my salvation.
When troubles loomed on every side
and nameless fears surrounded,
to God my LORD I quickly cried
and soon his help abounded.
For God has heard my desperate plea
and seen my pain and sadness;
he came to me, and set me free
in paths of peace and gladness.
We trust in God, in him alone;
the stone that was rejected
has now become the cornerstone
that God has resurrected.
The day is his, first of days,
to celebrate with singing;
rejoice in God, and give him praise,
our best hosannas bringing.
The LORD has made his light to shine
on all our dark depression;
from east to west, believers join
his victory procession.
O save us LORD; give us success!
Your gifts flow like a river
O bless us, God whose name we bless!
Your love endures forever.
and the thing is in typical british fashion i have no idea what tune we sang it to :)
the doors of the cologne cathedral - we sang in a much humbler place . . .
