89. The Voice of Thanksgiving

1 The voice of thanksgiving we cheerfully raise,
On this, our glad festival day;
The house of our God shall reecho with praise
For blessings He show’rs on our way.

Refrain:
We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him,
Our gifts on His altar we’ll lay;
We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him,
On this, our glad festival day.

2 He brightens the day with His sunbeams of love,
The nights, with the stars of His grace;
In ev’ry sweet token that comes from above,
His goodness and mercy we trace. [Refrain]

3 We come to His temple with carols of joy;
His care and His guidance extol;
Our strength in His service we’ll early employ,
And sing, “Bless the Lord, O my soul.” [Refrain]
