Lyrics

We praise Thee, we bless Thee,
Our Sav­ior di­vine,
All pow’r and do­min­ion
Forever be Thine;
We sing of Thy mer­cy
With joy­ful ac­claim;
For Thou hast re­deemed us;
All praise to Thy name;
For Thou hast re­deemed us;
All praise to Thy name.

All ho­nor and praise to
Thine ex­cel­lent name;
Thy love is un­chang­ing,
Forever the same;
We bless and adore Thee,
O Sav­ior and king;
With joy and thanks­giv­ing,
Thy prais­es we sing;
With joy and thanks­giv­ing,
Thy prais­es we sing.

The strength of the hills, and
The depths of the sea,
The earth and its full­ness,
Belong un­to Thee;
And yet to the low­ly
Thou bend­est Thine ear,
So rea­dy their hum­ble
Petitions to hear;
So rea­dy their hum­ble
Petitions to hear.

Thine in­fi­nite good­ness
Our tongues shall em­ploy;
Thou giv­est us rich­ly
All things to en­joy;
We’ll fol­low Thy foot­steps,
We’ll rest in Thy love,
And soon we shall praise Thee
In man­sions above;
And soon we shall praise Thee
In man­sions above.
