Joyful songs of praise we bring
Thee, our Saviour!
Of Thy goodness we will sing
And Thy favors!
Heart and mind in ardor fill
With Thy praises,
For our hope in Jesus.

God, by His own gift of grace
Did relieve us,
And our sinfulness efface
Which did grieve us.
Jesus by His Father's will,
Made atonement,
Saved from death and torment.

Saints and angels here and there
Sing Thy praises
For this newborn sinner's share
In Thy promise;
God gives him eternal life!
We embrace him
And in love enfold him.

God's true children, heaven's guests,
All ye churches;
Live henceforth in righteousness,
As His purchase!
Had not God revealed His love
Us to cherish,
We in death would perish.

May our hearts and souls unite
In affection!
May our faith be glowing bright,
And correction
Come unto us from the fount
Of the Spirit
We from Christ inherit.

May each newborn child to Him
Be devoted;
Be each one to Christ the King
Consecrated!
From Him we received the gift.
Thanks and praises
We return, Lord Jesus!

Creatures new, Lord, we are Thine,
Thy possession.
That men share Thy life divine,
Was Thy mission.
He who bows at Babel's shrine,
Homage giving,
No new life is living.

May the world in us perceive
Love's true fervor,
With which Jesus' members cleave
To each other.
All the brethren who believe,
Daily striving,
Christlike should be living!
