We Praise Thy Name

For our work and strength to do it

For the will to still pursue it

For the joy which comes from doing

And the pleasure of pursuing

And for daily strength renewing

For the beauty none can measure

For the earth with all its treasure

For the ties to heaven which bind us

For the sorrows left behind us

For the friends who now surround us

For the love which sought and found us

For the kindness all around us

For Thy love to us o'erflowing

Which Thou art by these things showing

For the Word which Thou has spoken

In Thy Son. the endless token

Of Thy Covenant unbroken

For the wisdom of the ages

For the truths taught by earth's sages.

For the faith to share Thy glory

When is ended this life's story

For the hope of joys unending

Toward which all these joys are tending.

We praise Thy name, O Lord
