Hymn of f th the Day #703 How Ca Can I I Th Thank You, Lo Lord • How can I thank You, Lord, For all Your loving-kindness, That You have patiently Borne with me in my blindness! When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Your anger ev'ry day. • It is Your work alone That I am now converted; O'er Satan's work in me You have Your pow'r asserted. Your mercy and Your grace That rise afresh each morn Have turned my stony heart Into a heart newborn. • Lord, You have raised me up To joy and exultation And clearly shown the way That leads me to salvation. My sins are washed away; For this I thank You, Lord. Now with my heart and soul All evil I abhor. • Grant that Your Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven. Grant that He give me strength In my infirmity; May He renew my heart To serve You willingly. • O Father, God of love, Now hear my supplication; O Savior, Son of God, Accept my adoration; O Holy Spirit, be My ever faithful guide That I may serve You here And there with You abide.
