Author: Franklin Edson Belden Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9161 First Line: Thanksgiving to the Lord belongs Refrain First Line: Sing praise, to the Lord Lyrics: 1 Thanksgiving to the Lord belongs
For all His love and care;
With grateful hearts and thankful songs,
Thanksgiving all may share.
Our Father from His bounteous hand
Lets many blessings fall;
Our life, our friends and freedom’s land,
We owe to Him our all.
Refrain:
Sing praise, to the Lord,
For all His bounties shown;
Let every heart a tribute bring,
And make His goodness known.
2 He speaks, and waking nature smiles
In blooming verdure, gay,
And Spring in merry song reviles
Old Winter, cold and gray.
He robes the earth in ripeness o’er,
His goodness to proclaim;
He crowns the year with harvest store;
Thanksgiving to His name. [Refrain]
3 Oh! praise the Lord, whose works appear
In Heaven, earth and sea;
His mighty name let all revere,
And ever thankful be.
He is a refuge for the soul
Who trusts in Him alone,
And when our years shall cease to roll,
We’ll praise him round His throne. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Thanksgiving to the Lord belongs]
