(Canaan Hymn: No. 2,  P. 3;  CD II – 1;  K – 1; Original Xiao Min’s Hymn No. 5)

Dear Lord, I praise your name.

Because you have chosen me.

You have come from heaven to this sinful world and looking for me.

Dear Lord, I praise your name.

Because you have loved me.

Your great love fills entire universe even the whole wide world.

Your love has brought us salvation,

Show us how earnestly to follow God’s way.

Let all bow down to worship you.

Let all praise your name on high.

Great is God, our dear farther.

May all praise be to you.

You have lifted us from miry clay.

You have lifted us from dust.

Words cannot tell of all your Love; or praise all your righteousness.

Let us all praise God’s holy name with thanks-giving from our hearts.
