Lyrics
We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee,
We bless Thy holy Name, glad praises we sing.
We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee;
Thro' life's storm and tempest our Guide Thou hast been.
When perils o'ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us,
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.
With voices united our praises we offer,
To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us,
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
-------------------------------
Alternate translation (Theodore Baker)
We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing,
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His name,— He forgets not His own.
Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His Kingdom divine,
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine.
We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation!
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee,
We bless Thy holy Name, glad praises we sing.
We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee;
Thro' life's storm and tempest our Guide Thou hast been.
When perils o'ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us,
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.
With voices united our praises we offer,
To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us,
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
