THANKS BE TO GOD

FOR:
Thorns, for us Christ wore in tenderest love,
Homes he has prepared, in heav’n above;
Angel-guards, for action ready away,
Never-failing compassions, new each day;
Knowledge, that for us He intercedes,
Shame he bore to cleanse all our misdeeds;

Goodness to us, pilgrims here below,
Inviting the sin-burdened His rest to know;
Victory he performs in us as we trust,
Illustrating the way of life for us;
New heavens and earth coming, oh! Sooo soon,
Grace to bring discordant hearts in tune –
WE GIVE THEE THANKS, O LORD OF LOVE.
