1 We bless Thy holy name,
Thou who canst save from shame,
Thee we adore;
Let all the people sing;
Loud let Thy praises ring,
Thou art our God and king
For evermore!
2 Thou art our life and light,
Dispelling all our night,
With mercy free;
We bow before Thy throne,
Thy sovereignty we own;
Since Thou art God alone,
We come to Thee.
3 Accept our grateful praise,
Guide us in wisdom’s ways,
Almighty Friend;
Our zeal and strength renew,
Help us our work to do,
With loving hearts and true,
Till time shall end.
4 When earthly tasks are o’er,
On Canaan’s shining shore
How sweet ’twill be,
’Mid scenes of pure delight,
Where sin can never blight,
To share Thy glory bright,
Eternally!
