420. We Praise You, O God

1 We praise you, O God, our Redeemer, Creator;
in grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before you, we kneel and adore you;
we bless your holy name, glad praises we sing.

2 We worship you, God of our mothers and fathers;
through life's storm and tempest our guide you have been.
When perils o'ertake us, you never forsake us,
and with your help, O Lord, in life's struggles we win.

3 With voices united our praises we offer,
and gladly our song of thanksgiving we raise.
Our sins now confessing, we pray for your blessing;
to you, our great Redeemer, forever be praise!
