We Thank You, Lord

lyricist: Susan Peterson, 1997
Composer: Jean Sibelius, 1899

We thank You

Lord

And wor­ship You with glad­ness;

We praise Your name

And lift our hearts in song;

For You are good

Your love en­dures for­ev­er

Your faith­ful­ness

Continues all day long.

You’ve lav­ished us

With ev­ery spir­it­ual bless­ing;

We thank You

Lord

And praise You now in song.

We thank You

Lord

For ev­ery­day pro­vi­sions

For dai­ly food

For clothes and shel­ter too

For health and strength

And grace for ev­ery tri­al

For this free land

Where we can wor­ship You.

You crown each day

With Your abun­dant good­ness;

We thank You

Lord

And lift our praise to You.

We thank You

Lord

For giv­ing us sal­vation.

You sent Your Son

That we might be for­giv’n.

Far as the east

From west

our sins have van­ished;

Now jus­ti­fied

We’re ci­ti­zens of Heav’n.

You’ve sealed us with

Your pro­mised Ho­ly Spir­it;

We thank You

Lord

For love so free­ly giv’n!

We thank You

Lord

For giv­ing us the Bi­ble

To guide our steps

If we’ll but hear and read

And for Your Church

A world­wide liv­ing bo­dy

That gives sweet fel­low­ship

And meets our need.

We are en­cour­aged

And we wor­ship glad­ly;

We thank You

Lord

You’ve made us rich in­deed!
