WE praise Thee! We bless Thee!
O Saviour, risen to-day!
Thou who didst drain the bitter cup
Thou who Thy life didst offer up,
To take our sins away!

We praise Thee! We bless Thee!
O Lord of death and life!
We follow where Thy feet have gone,
Through deepest night to fairest dawn,
To peace through stubborn strife!

We praise Thee! We bless Thee!
Even when our hearts are riven!
Thou art anear the dying bed,
Thy hand beneath the fainting head,
And Thou Thyself art heaven!

We praise Thee! We bless Thee!
Beside each lowly mound
That, daisy-starred or lily-sown,
Is but the cover gently thrown
O'er one in Jesus found.

We praise Thee! We bless Thee!
With every pulse and breath.
Ours is the never-ending hymn
That saints began in ages dim,
Thou Conqueror of Death!

We praise Thee! We bless Thee!
This happy Sabbath day.
Through earth and skies the chorus rings,
O Lord of lords and King of kings,
Who takes our sins away.
