To Thee, O God, We Raise

To Thee

O God

we raise

Our voice

in chor­al sing­ing;

We come

with pray­er and praise

Our hearts’ ob­la­tions bring­ing;

Thou art our fa­thers’ God

And ever shalt be ours:

Our lips and lives shall laud

Thy name

with all our pow­ers.

Thy good­ness

like the dew

On Her­mon’s hill des­cend­ing

Is ev­ery morn­ing new

And tells of love un­end­ing.

We bless Thy ten­der care

That led our way­ward feet

Past ev­ery fa­tal snare

To streams and pas­tures sweet.

We bless Thy Son

who bore

The cross

for sin­ners dy­ing;

Thy Spir­it we adore

The pre­cious blood ap­ply­ing.

Let work and wor­ship send

Their in­cense un­to Thee

Till song and serv­ice blend

Beside the crys­tal sea.
