17. 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, life's battles we win.

3 With voices united our praises we offer,
And gladly our song of true worship we raise;
Our sins now confessing, we pray for Thy blessing,
To Thee, our great Redeemer, ever be praise.

Amen.
