THANKS be unto God our Father
For His gift unspeakable;
Christ His Son, His well-beloved,
Gift of love ineffable.
Thanks for full and free redemption
Through the Saviour’s precious blood,
Blood that makes the vilest sinner
Meet to stand before our God.
Praise Him for His Holy Spirit,
Sent these hearts to dwell within,
Bringing joy and peace and gladness,
Vict’ry over self and sin.
And give thanks for daily mercies,
Countless as the seaside sands;
Health and strength and food and raiment,
Gifts from God’s own loving hands.
Bless Him for the gospel message
To lost sinners to proclaim;
Telling of “so great salvation,”
God’s free gift through Jesus’ name.
Telling of a home in heaven,
Purchased by the Saviour’s blood,
Where nor pain nor death shall enter,
And where we shall see our God.
Hallelujah! Christ is coming,
Coming soon to claim His own;
To behold His face in glory,
And to share with Him His throne.
Oh! what bliss for us His ransomed!
How it makes our hearts rejoice!
Knowing that at any moment
We may hear the Bridegroom’s voice.
