We praise Thee, O God, we praise Thee, O God. 3 We praise Thee, O God, for the light of Thy word, The message of mercy we in gladness have heard; For Jesus, Thy Son, who for sinful man came, For joys of salvation thru faith in His name; For strength in the conflict victorious to be, For hope of the glory of heaven with Thee.
