Give thanks unto our gracious God by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
Give thanks unto our gracious God,
whose love endures forever;
the Lord, our strength and song shall be
from whom no fault can sever.
Sing mighty songs of victory,
both now and for eternity.
The Lord will leave us never.
The Lord will leave us never.
I shall not die, but I shall live,
and sing God's grace with elation.
Though I deserve no more than death,
God blesses me with salvation.

About Give thanks unto our gracious God
This SATB anthem expresses profound gratitude for God's unfailing love and salvation. The text, rooted in psalmody, speaks of God as our strength and song, promising eternal deliverance. It contrasts human unworthiness with divine grace, celebrating a salvation that opens gates to welcome us. The lyrics also reflect on the cornerstone rejected by builders now becoming the foundation of God's house, highlighting divine wisdom and purpose. The composer, Thurlow Weed, sets this text in English, creating a powerful hymn of thanksgiving and adoration, affirming God's presence and blessing through all time.
