Praise be to the Lord, my heart sings with glee For he has heard my cry, and set my spirit free The Lord is my strength, my shield in the night With him by my side, I'll always see the light
My heart trusts in him, with joy it does swell In his loving arms, I know all will be well He is the fortress, the salvation we seek For his anointed ones, he is strong and meek
Save your people, O Lord, bless your inheritance Be their shepherd, guide them with loving assurance Carry them forever, in your arms they'll stay For you are their strength, their hope, their way
