In loud and happy chorus
We praise Thy love and power,
Whose goodness reigneth o’er us.
To heaven our song shall soar,
For ever shall it be
Resounding o’er and o’er.
Lord God, we worship Thee!
2 Lord God, we worship Thee!
For Thou our land defendest;
Thou pourest down Thy grace,
And strife and war Thou endest.
Since golden peace, O Lord,
Thou grantest us to see,
Our land, with one accord,
Lord God, gives thanks to Thee!
3 Lord God, we worship Thee!
Thou didst indeed chastise us;
Yet still Thy anger spares,
And still Thy mercy tries us;
Once more our Father's hand
Doth bid our sorrows flee,
And peace rejoice our land;
Lord God, we worship Thee!
4 Lord God, we worship Thee!
And pray Thee, who hast blest us,
That we may live in peace,
And none henceforth molest us;
O crown us with Thy love;
Fulfill our cry to Thee:
Our Father, grant our prayer;
Lord God, we worship Thee!
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons National Languages: English Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT
