00:07.060 --> 00:14.040
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
His love is everlasting.

00:15.060 --> 00:21.900
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Redeemed from the hand of their foe.

00:22.680 --> 00:30.580
Gathered from lands of east and west,
And from the north and south, They roamed

00:30.580 --> 00:36.560
through the wild and desert lands,
Without a place called home.

00:37.460 --> 00:43.460
There they were hungry and full of thirst,
Their soul then fainted within.

00:44.680 --> 00:51.800
They cried to the Lord in their distress,
Who saved them from their trials.

00:51.800 --> 00:58.880
He also led them by straight paths,
To find a place called home.

00:59.720 --> 01:07.300
Give thanks to the Lord for His great
love, Unto the sons of men.

01:09.040 --> 01:15.720
The redeemed satisfies the thirsty soul,
The hungry soul with good.

01:15.720 --> 01:23.720
Some dwelt in the dark and shades of
death, Those bound in anguish and chains.

01:24.280 --> 01:31.340
For they had rebelled against God's words,
And spurned the Most High's voice.

01:31.740 --> 01:38.680
He humbled their heart with weariness,
They stumbled with none to help.

01:38.680 --> 01:46.100
They cried to the Lord in their distress,
Who saved them from their trials.

01:46.700 --> 01:53.440
Led out of the dark and the shades of
death, And broke their bands apart.

01:54.240 --> 02:01.060
Give thanks to the Lord for His great
love, Unto the sons of men.

02:01.060 --> 02:08.700
For He's broken down the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron.

02:10.880 --> 02:18.000
The fools set upon their rebellious ways,
Were humbled for their sins.

02:18.760 --> 02:25.700
Their soul, like pouring all kinds of
food, Approached the gates of death.

02:25.700 --> 02:32.960
They cried to the Lord in their distress,
Who saved them from their trials.

02:33.760 --> 02:40.600
He sent out His word to heal them,
And save them from their ruin.

02:41.280 --> 02:47.900
Give thanks to the Lord for His great
love, Unto the sons of men.

02:47.900 --> 02:55.600
As sacrifice bring thanksgiving,
And tell His works in song.

02:56.260 --> 03:02.780
Of those in ships gone to the sea,
Whose work is on great waters,

03:03.500 --> 03:10.620
They've seen the works done by the Lord,
His wonders in the deep.

03:12.220 --> 03:20.040
He spoke then to raise the stormy wind,
To lift the waves of the sea.

03:20.720 --> 03:27.060
They rose up to heaven, sang to the
depths, Their soul in sadness sang.

03:28.160 --> 03:35.040
They reeled and they rocked like drunken
men, And were at their wits' end.

03:35.040 --> 03:42.640
They cried to the Lord in their distress,
Who saved them from their trials.

03:43.220 --> 03:49.920
He caused the storm to become still,
The ocean's waves were hushed.

03:50.540 --> 03:57.240
Then they were glad when it was calm,
Led to a pleasant harbor.

03:57.920 --> 04:05.040
Give thanks to the Lord for His great
love, Unto the sons of men.

04:05.660 --> 04:12.680
Exalt in the congregation, Praise Him in
His home of old.

04:14.860 --> 04:22.080
He makes up the streams a wilderness,
The springs a thirsty ground.

04:22.080 --> 04:29.560
Makes fruit-bearing land a waste of salt,
When evil dwells therein.

04:29.960 --> 04:36.800
The desert He turns into a lake,
Dry land to springs of water.

04:37.780 --> 04:44.240
And there He will make the hungry dwell,
To build a place called home.

04:45.050 --> 04:51.780
To sow their fields and vineyards plant,
To bring a fruitful yield.

04:52.700 --> 04:59.560
He blesses them so they increase,
Their herds will never fail.

05:00.400 --> 05:07.020
When they're diminished and bowed down,
When hurt, oppressed, or grieved,

05:07.020 --> 05:15.820
He pours contempt on the princes,
Who roam a pathless waste.

05:17.220 --> 05:24.440
But He sets the poor secure on high,
Away from all their pains.

05:25.020 --> 05:31.820
His tribe shall be calm, just like a
flock, The just shall see and be glad.

05:31.820 --> 05:39.220
But unrighteousness will shut its mouth,
Now where is the one who's wise?

05:40.100 --> 05:46.760
Now let him give heed and understand,
The kindness of the Lord.

05:47.420 --> 05:53.900
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
His love is everlasting.

05:54.870 --> 06:01.900
Oh, let the ringing of the Lord say,
So we've found a place called home.

06:02.340 --> 06:09.460
Yes, let the ringing of the Lord say,
So we've found a place called home.
