And humbly confessing our faith we now sing.
Our anthem ascending speaks gratitude unending;
To thee, O Lord of Life, glad praises we bring.
2 We worship thee, Spirit triumphant, we bless thee;
Through life's storm and tempest our Guide has thou been.
When perils overtake us, a refuge thou wilt make us;
That on the greater journey, Lord, we may begin.
3 With voices united our praises we offer,
And gladly our song of thanksgiving we raise;
Let thy benediction confirm our conviction
That love and light are thine; to thee ever be praise. Topics: Blessing (blessedness); Christmas; Creation; Faith; Light; Love; Praise; Quaker author; Seeking guidance; Singing (or Song); Spirit of God; Thankfulness; Thanksgiving Day Tune Title: KREMSER
