Lyics

Sing to the great Jehovah's praise,

All praise to him belongs;

He who lengthens out our days,

Demands our choicest songs:

His providence hath brought us thru

Another various year;

We all, with vows and anthems new

Before his throne appear.



Father, thy mercies past we own,

And thy continued care;

To thee presenting, thro thy Son,

All that we have and are:



Our residue of days and hours,

Thine, wholly thine, shall be,

And all our consecrated powers

We sacrifice to thee.
