Hymn Of Praise
WE would praise thee, Heavenly Father,
For thy mercies and thy care,
Unto us, poor, sinful creatures,
And thy children everywhere.
Lord, we thank thee for the blessings
That thou givest us in love,
And we know that every mercy,
Cometh to us from above.
Keep us, Lord, and bless us daily,
Help us all to do aright;
Oh! We need thy loving watch care,
Every day and every night.
Jesus, thou hast suffered for us,
And for sinners hast thou died,
Yes, to save a world of rebels,
Thou, O Lord, wast crucified.
Oh! How loving and how gracious,
Oh! How gentle and how mild,
Didst thou come to earth, dear Saviour,
Meek and lowly, like a child.
We would love thee for thy goodness,
And would praise thee for thy might.
We would worship for thy greatness,
And would in thy law delight.
Give us sweet assurance daily,
That our sins are all forgiven;
And when done with earth forever,
Let us rest with thee in Heaven.
