Blest be the Lord, the God of love,
Who showers his blessings from above;
The rock on which the righteous trust,
The hope and saviour of the just.
He to his saints redemption gives;
The weak and humble he relieves;
Supported by his grace we stand,
For life and death are in his hand.
He views his children in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And, from his holy seat above,
Supports them with his tender love.
All they who make his laws their choice
Shall in his promises rejoice;
With gladness in their hearts, shall raise.
Before his throne, triumphant praise.
