Thanks We Give

O Thou Giv­er of each bless­ing

That Thy child­ren here en­joy

We would bring our hum­ble trib­ute

And our pow­ers of praise em­ploy;

Thou art good and Thou art gra­cious

Full of mer­cy and of love

Every per­fect bless­ing com­eth

Down from Thee in Heav’n above.

Thanks we give to Thee

our Fa­ther

In the name of Christ

Thy Son

For the boun­ties we are shar­ing—

Thou hast giv­en ev­ery one.

Thou hast led us

Thou hast fed us

Thou hast giv­en homes so dear

And the friends who free­ly love us

Whose bright smiles our path­way cheer.

More than all we thank and praise Thee

For the Bi­ble—pre­cious boon—

For the bound­less love un­fold­ed

In the gift of Thy dear Son.

For the hope of life im­mor­tal—

That the blest shall live with Thee

In the land where death comes nev­er

Through the vast eter­ni­ty.
