Grateful Praise

Author: Phillips Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #44 (1889) First Line: We bring no glitt'ring treasures Refrain First Line: Sing! sing! joyously sing Lyrics: 1 We bring no glitt’ring treasures,— No gems from earth’s deep mine; We come, with cheerful measures To chant Thy love divine. Children, Thy favors sharing, Their voice of thanks would raise; O Lord, accept our off’ring,— Our song of grateful praise. Refrain: Sing! sing! joyously sing Grateful hosannas to Jesus, our King! Sing! sing! joyously sing! Praises unceasing bring. 2 The dearest gifts of heaven, Love’s written word of truth; To us is early given To guide our steps in youth. We hear the wond’rous story,— The tale of Calvary; We read of homes in glory, From sin and sorrow free. [Refrain] 3 Redeemer, great thy blessing, Oh, teach us how to pray; That each, Thy fear possessing, May tread life’s onward way. Then where the pure are dwelling, We hope to meet again; And sweet the number swelling, Forever praise Thy name. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We bring no glitt'ring treasures]
