542. Lord, Your Praise We Sing

1 Lord, your praise we sing,
our glad thanks we bring,
for your favor, gracious Savior.
Lord, your praise we sing.

2 You loved us on earth
from your wondrous birth;
healing, teaching, seeking, reaching;
you loved us on earth.

3 You o'ercame the foe
so that we might go
on to heaven, cleansed, forgiven.
You o'ercame the foe.

4 Jesus, here we meet;
in your name we greet
ancient story, hopes of glory.
Jesus, here we meet.

5 Lord, be near us here
our sad lives to cheer;
stand beside us, ever guide us,
Lord, be near us here.
