Thanksgiving Song

 

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering
and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so unto Him,
bless and affectionately praise His name!

For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are
everlasting. His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations."
(Psalm 100:4-5)

We would thank Thee, heav'nly Father,

For the blessings of our past days;

And our heart today o'erflow with gladness,

Unto Thee, we render grateful praise.

Praise Him, ever praise Him,

And His love proclaim;

Glory, praise and honor

Be unto His name.

We would thank Thee for Thy guidance,

Thou hast kept us from day to day;

For our common good, dear Lord, we thank Thee,

Thou will ever be our shield and stay.

Praise Him, ever praise Him,

And His love proclaim;

Glory, praise and honor

Be unto His name.

We would thank Thee, gracious Father,

Life and health we still possess,

Now accept the tribute, Lord, we bring Thee,

We Thy holy name and praises bless.

Praise Him, ever praise Him,

And His love proclaim;

Glory, praise and honor

Be unto His name.
