466. We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer

1 We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator!
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring;
We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee;
We bless Thy holy name; glad praises we sing.

2 We worship Thee, God of our fathers; we bless Thee;
Through life's storm and tempest our Guide hast Thou been;
When perils o'ertake us, escape Thou wilt make us,
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.

3 With voices united our praises we offer;
To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us,
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
