Our Hymn of Thanks We Sing Today

Our hymn of thanks we sing to­day;

Our hearts and voic­es raise

To Him who

with a Fa­ther’s love

Has guid­ed all our ways:

The mer­cies of ano­ther year

Demand our grate­ful praise.

Jesus

ac­cept the thanks we bring

Unworthy though they be;

Thou didst of old let child­ren sing

Hosannas un­to Thee.

We too pre­sent our of­fer­ing

And join their har­mo­ny.

Throughout the year we have been blest

With les­sons from Thy word

From teach­ers dear

who nev­er tire

In work­ing for their Lord

Our minds to train

our souls to win:

O give them their re­ward.

May we still love the Sun­day School;

Still love Thy word and ways;

And wise unto sal­va­tion grow

In these our youth­ful days;

Then join the bless­èd band ab­ove

Who ev­er sing Thy praise.

Lord

smile up­on the friends who come

To aid this work of love;

Their of­fer­ings gra­cious­ly ac­cept;

Thy bless­ing may they prove

A hun­dred fold—and may we meet

Teachers and friends ab­ove.
