The Lord is merciful,

And so compassionate;

Be patient and thankful,

Lovingly fortunate.

The Lord is good to all,

Compassion what is made;

He will answer your call,

For rendering you aid.

All His works you should praise,

Giving thanks to the Lord;

With voice and hands to raise,

Show that He is adored.

Proclaim of His splendor,

Of His mighty kingdom;

Soul and heart surrender,

For unto His wisdom.

So, man will acknowledge,

Of His majestic acts;

Letting them pay homage,

To all spiritual facts.

His dominion endures,

Domain is eternal;

But if the devil lures,

Your fate is infernal.

The Lord aids all who fall,

Lifts up if on bent knee;

If confessed when they call,

Rest assured He will free.

All things will look to you,

As His eyes are to wait;

You be faithful and true,

Or perish in your fate.

He will open His hand,

Of each living creature;

For food that they demand,

And learn from the teacher.

The Lord is fair and just,

Actions showing His love;

Teaching you what you must,

Heed as told from above.

My mouth praises the Lord,

Let all flesh bless His name;

And be in one accord,

Proceeding to proclaim.
