Our thanks to God most high!
 
The Father of our Lord,
 
The Savior-God is He,
 
And be His name adored!
 
O God, Thy mercy shall endure,
 
Thy Word abide forever sure.

He sent His only Son
 
And saved us from our woe — 
 
From Satan, guilt and hell,
 
And every hurtful foe.
 
Thy mercy, Lord, shall still endure,
 
Thy Word abide forever sure.

Give thanks aloud to God,
 
To God your praises bring,
 
To God upon His throne
 
His works and glories sing.
 
His power and grace are still the same,
 
Let endless praise exalt His name.
