773. Thank the Lord, for He Is Good

1 Thank the Lord, for he is good,
God of gods, and Lord of lords--
He loves us, he loves us forever.

2 See the wonders of his hands,
Stars and heavens, earth and seas--

3 Israel was once enslaved,
But he opened the Red Sea path--

4 Led his people the desert through,
Mighty foes, he crushed them all--

5 Once no people, now his own,
Homes once lost and left, restored--

6 Look, you people, people of God,
Servants free, give him your hand--

7 Food to eat and air to breathe,
Work to do, give thanks to him--

8 Thank the Lord, for he is good--
He loves us, he loves us forever.
