LyicsSing 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.
