Representative Text

1 We would thank Thee, heav’nly Father,
For the blessings of our past days;
And our hearts today o’erflow with gladness,
Unto Thee, we render grateful praise.

Refrain:
Praise Him, ever praise Him,
And His love proclaim;
Glory, praise and honor
Be unto His name.

2 We would thank Thee for Thy guidance,
Thou hast kept us from day to day;
For our common good, dear Lord, we thank Thee,
Thou wilt ever be our shield and stay. [Refrain]

3 We would thank Thee, gracious Father,
Life and health we still possess;
Now accept the tribute, Lord, we bring Thee,
We Thy holy name with praises bless. [Refrain]
