Representative Text

1 God merciful and righteous is,
a gracious Lord is he;
what shall I render to the Lord
for all his gifts to me?

2 I'll lift with joy salvation's cup
on God's name will I call;
the vow I promised I will pay
now in the sight of all.

3 The death of every saint of God
is precious in his sight.
I am thy slave, thy handmaid's son
set free, Lord by the might.

4 Thanksgiving I will offer thee,
on God's name will I call,
I'll pay my vows unto the Lord
now in the sight of all.

5 Within the courts of God's own house,
within his holy place,
O city of Jerusalem
unto the Lord give praise.
