Sing to the great Jehovah’s praise!
All praise to Him belongs:
|: Who kindly lengthens out our days :|
Demands our choicest songs.
His providence hath brought us through
Another various year:
|: We all with vows and anthems new :|
Before our God appear.
Father, Thy mercies past we own;
Thy still continued care;
|: To Thee presenting, through Thy Son, :|
Whate’er we have or own.
Our lips and lives shall gladly show
The wonders of Thy love,
|: While on in Jesu’s steps we go :|
To see Thy face above.
Our residue of days or hours
Thine, wholly Thine, shall be;
|: And all our consecrated powers :|
A sacrifice to thee:
Till Jesus in the clouds appear
To saints on earth forgiven,
|: And bring the grand Sabbatic year, :|
The jubilee of heaven.
---Alternative verses---
Our lips and lives shall gladly show
The wonders of Thy love,
|: While on in Jesus’ steps we go :|
To see Thy face above.
Our residue of days or hours
Thine, wholly Thine, shall be;
|: And all our consecrated powers :|
A sacrifice to be:
