The Celebration Hymnal ‎#68

68. We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer

1 We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator;
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before Thee; we kneel and adore Thee;
We bless Thy holy Name, glad praises we sing.

2 We worship Thee, God of our Fathers, we bless Thee;
Thro' life's storm and tempest our guide Thou hast been.
When perils o'ertake us, Thou wilt not forsake us,
And with Thy help, O Lord, life's battles we win.

3 With voices united our praises we offer,
And gladly our songs of true worship we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us; our God is beside us.
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
