Lyrics (Psalm 138:1-2, 2-3, 6, 8):

Response: Lord, your love is eternal; do not forsake the work of your hands.

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart,
for you have heard the words of my mouth;
in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;
I will worship at your holy temple. Response

I will give thanks to your name,
because of your kindness and your truth;
When I called you answered me;
you built up strength within me. Response

The LORD is exalted, yet the lowly he sees,
and the proud he knows from afar.
your kindness, O LORD, endures forever;
forsake not the work of your hands. Response
