Lord God, we honor Thee
And praise Thy mild compassion,
That Thou so graciously
Dost hear our supplication!
Thy love is truly great;
Thy mercies are untold;
Thou givest food and drink
For  Spirit, flesh and soul.

So now again Thou hast
To us a blessing given.
Our handiwork is blest
By Thy good Word from heaven.
Thou blessest food and drink
Our needs to satisfy.
Therefore, we give Thee thanks;
Our song shall rise on high.

Thy living Word is sent
Our souls to feed and nourish.
Thou wilt that in our hearts
Thy love and praise we cherish.
Thou sheddest light and pow'r
Upon our pilgrim way,
And lead'st us by Thy hand
To heaven day by day.

We sing our heartfelt thanks,
Thy truth and love adoring.
For guidance and for light
Thy Spirit we're imploring.
Our hearts we offer Thee
For live and ev'ry day,
That with Thy grace we tread
The straight and narrow way.
