The Poetical Works of William Cowper (Benham)/Olney Hymns/8. O Lord, I will praise Thee

by William Cowper (1731-1800)

VIII. O LORD, I WILL PRAISE
THEE.Isaiah xii:1

I will praise thee every day

Now thine anger's turned away;
Comfortable thoughts arise
From the bleeding sacrifice.

Here, in the fair Gospel-field,
Wells of free salvation yield
Streams of life, a plenteous store,
And my soul shall thirst no more.

Jesus is become at length
My salvation and my strength;
And his praises shall prolong,
While I live, my pleasant song.

Praise ye, then, his glorious name,
Publish his exalted fame!
Still his worth your praise exceeds;
Excellent are all his deeds.

Raise again the joyful sound,
Let the nations roll it round!
Zion, shout! for this is he;
God the Saviour dwells in thee!
