1. Give thanks and sing unto the Lord our God;
Sweep, sweep the harp in notes of sweet devotion;
Tell of his grace and spread his name abroad,
Great are his works in sky and air and ocean.
Chorus:
Praise ye the Lord! give thanks and sing;
Tell of his love to ev’ry land and nation,
Hosanna! Praise ye the Lord,
(Praise ye the Lord, give thanks and sing,)
Praise him forever, who bringeth salvation.
2. Give thanks and sing; he made the day and night;
Sunbeams of joy that brightly sparkle ’round us;
Hopes like the stars, to shed their golden light,
Till some glad morn, his mercy shall have crowned us.
3. Give thanks and sing, his wondrous deeds recount;
Let lips and lives unceasing praises render;
On wings of love, our souls shall heav’nward mount
Till on our view, shall break the City’s splendor.
