Lyrics: (Orange book, p 30)

Refrain: Lord, may our prayer rise like incense in your sight. May this place be filled with the fragrance of Christ.

Alt. Refrain 1: In the presence of the angels, O Lord, may we praise your name, may we praise your name.

Alt. Refrain 2: Lord, on the day that I cried out for help, you answered me, you answered me.

1. I will thank you, Lord, with all of my heart. You have heard the words of my mouth. In the presence of the angels, I will bless you. I will adore before your holy temple.

2. I will thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness and love, beyond all my hopes and dreams. On the day that I called, you answered; you gave life to the strength of my soul.

3. All who live on earth shall give you thanks when they hear the words of your voice, and all shall sing of your ways: "How great is the glory of God!"
