Full Lyrics
Verse 1
Praise we our God with joy,
And gladness never ending,
Angels and saints with us,
Their grateful voices blending,
He is our father dear,
O'erfilled with parent's love;
Mercies unsought, unknown;
He showers from above.
Verse 2
He is our shepherd true;
With watchful care unsleeping,
On us, his erring sheep,
An eye of pity keeping;
He with a mighty arm
The bonds of sin he breaks,
And to our burden'd hearts
In words of peace he speaks.
Verse 3
Graces in copious streams,
From that pure fount are welling
Where, in our hearts of hearts,
Our God has set his dwelling.
His word our lantern is,
His peace our comfort still,
His sweetness all our rest,
Our law, our life, his will.
