| 1. We praise thee,
O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before thee,
we kneel and adore thee,
We bless thy holy name,
glad praises we sing.
2. We worship thee,
God of our fathers, we bless thee;
Through life's storm
and tempest our guide hast thou been.
When perils o'ertake us,
escape thou wilt make us,
And with thy help, O Lord,
our battles we win.
3. With voices united
our praises we offer,
To thee, great Jehovah,
glad anthems we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us,
our God is beside us,
To thee, our great Redeemer,
for ever be praise.
4. ******************************
Cady later added this stanza
for use at Christmas:
Thy love Thou didst show us,
Thine only Son sending,
Who came as a Babe
and Whose bed was a stall,
His blest life He gave us
and then died to save us;
We praise Thee, O Lord,
for Thy gift to us all.
