Trinity Hymnal ‎#634

634. We praise thee, O God!

1 We praise thee, O God!
For the days of our youth,
For the bright lamp that shineth-
The Word of thy truth.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! thine the glory,
Hallelujah! we sing;
Hallelujah! thine the glory,
Our praise we now bring.

2 We praise thee, O God!
For the Son of thy love,
For Jesus who died and
Is now gone above. [Refrain]

3 We praise thee, O God!
For thy Spirit of light,
Who has shown us our Savior
And scattered our night. [Refrain]

4 All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain,
Who has borne all our sins and
Has cleansed ev'ry stain! [Refrain]

Amen.
