Praise the Lord, for He is good; His mercy lasts forever. Who can speak His mighty acts Or show completely all His praise? We have sinned as did our fathers, Forgetting wonders by the sea. Still He saved them for His name And led them through the depths. They craved in desert, made a calf, Exchanged their glory for an image. Moses stood within the breach; Phinehas rose and stayed the plague. They despised the pleasant land, Joined themselves to idols and to blood. Many times He gave deliverance; Many times rebellion brought them low. Yet He heard their cry and remembered covenant, Repented according to abundant mercy. Save us, gather us from every nation; Let us thank Your holy name. Remember me with the favor of Your people. Blessed be the Lord forever.
