Thanks for storms that I have weathered, thanks for all thou dost supply! Thanks for pain and thanks for pleasure, thanks for comfort in despair! Thanks for grace that none can measure, thanks for love beyond compare! 3 Thanks for roses by the wayside, thanks for thorns their stems contain!

You will perish—leave without delay; Come on board with us, and at once for glory sail, And be saved while you are called today. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We are on the deep, we are sailing to our home]
