Hark! Refrain: Father, we praise Thee, glad songs we raise Thee, Bless Thee, confess Thee, Creator and Friend; We worship before Thee, humbly adore Thee, Be near us and hear us, as joyous notes ascend. 2 God’s day of blessing, holy and calm, O’er weary spirit shedding its balm; Day when His people meet for His praise, In His own temple carols they raise; Hark! Hark! [Refrain] 3 Thanks to our Father, who in His love, Sent these sweet moments, gifts from above; Till earthly Sabbaths yield to the day, Fair and unending still will we say; Hark! Hark!
