The Sunday School Hymnal ‎#234

234. Praise to Thee, our Father

1 Praise to Thee, our Father,
In life’s blooming hours;
Brighter than the sunshine,
Mercy’s golden showers;
Joys, like summer blossoms,
Cluster ‘round our way;
May our loving service,
Thank Thee every day.

Refrain:
Praises, happy praises,
As we march along;
Hearts and voices raising,
Glad triumphant song.

2 Praise to Thee, dear Saviour;
Thou hast been a child;
Full of grace and wisdom,
Loving, meek, and mild.
From Thy throne in glory,
All Thy children see;
Granting us Thy blessing,
Make us more like Thee. [Refrain]

3 Praise, O Holy Spirit!
Help us while we sing;
For Thy tender guidance,
Grateful thanks we bring.
Teach us more of Jesus,
Teach us through Thy Word,
Let Thy gentle whisper
In our hearts be heard. [Refrain]

4 Praises, happy praises
To the God of Love!
Honor, might and blessing,
Angels sing above.
Father, Son, and Spirit,
Holy Trinity,
One in power and glory,
We will worship Thee. [Refrain]
