     11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.(KJV)

How Can I Thank Thee, Lord

1. How can I thank Thee, Lord, 
For all Thy loving-kindness, 
That Thou hast patiently 
Borne with me in my blindness? 
When dead in many sins 
And trespasses I lay, 
I kindled, holy God, 
Thine anger every day. 

2. It is Thy work alone 
That I am now converted; 
O’er Satan’s work in me 
Thou hast Thy power asserted. 
Thy mercy and Thy grace 
That rise afresh each morn 
Have turned my stony heart 
Into a heart new-born. 

3. I could but grieve Thee, Lord, 
And with my sins displease Thee; 
Yet to atone for sin 
My works could not appease Thee. 
Though I could fall from grace 
And choose the way of sin, 
I had no strength to rise, 
A new life to begin. 

4. But Thou hast 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 thee, Lord; 
And with my heart and soul 
All dead works are abhorred. 

5. Grant that Thy Spirit’s help 
To me be always given 
Lest I should fall again 
And lose the way to heaven; 
That He may give me strength 
In mine infirmity 
And e’er renew my heart 
To serve Thee willingly. 

6. Oh, guide and lead me, Lord, 
While here below I wander 
That I may follow Thee 
Till I shall see Thee yonder. 
For if I led myself, 
I soon would go astray; 
But if Thou leadest me, 
I keep the narrow way. 

7. O Father, God of Love, 
Hear Thou my supplication; 
O Savior, Son of God, 
Grant me Thy full salvation; 
And Thou, O Holy Ghost, 
Be Thou my faithful Guide 
That I may serve Thee here 
And there with Thee abide.
