556. I thank the Lord my Maker

1 I thank the Lord my Maker
For all His gifts to me—
For making me partaker
Of bounties rich and free—
For father and for mother,
Who give me clothes and food—
For sister and for brother,
And all the kind and good.

2 I thank the Lord my Saviour
Who came for me to die,
And bless me with his favour,
And fit me for the sky,—
That all my sins out-blotted,
By Jesus wash'd away,
I may be found unspotted
When comes the final day.

3 I thank Lord for giving
The Spirit of his grace,
That I may serve him living,
And dying reach the place
Where Jesus in his glory
I shall for ever see,
And tell the wondrous story
Of all His love for me.
