(one verse introduction)

With grateful hearts our thanks we bring,
And every day your praise we sing;
We worship in your holy place
And praise you for your truth and grace;
For truth and grace together shine
In your most holy Word divine,
In your most holy Word divine.

With holy Word you did us save,
Your Word of grace new courage gave;
We born on earth shall thank you, Lord,
For we have heard your wondrous Word;
Yes, we shall come with songs of praise,
For great and glorious are your ways,
For great and glorious are your ways.

O God, enthroned in glory bright,
You reign in the most heav'nly height;
The proud in vain your favor seek,
But you have mercy for the meek;
Through valleys deep and desert dust,
You will retrieve and strengthen us,
You will retrieve and strengthen us.

You will stretch forth your mighty arm
To save us when our foes alarm;
The work you have for us begun
Shall by your grace be fully done;
Forever mercy dwells with you;
O God, our Maker, think on us,
O God, our Maker, think on us.
