HYMN 851
(FE 893)
Tune: Baba jo ranti mi
1. THANKS we offer to God
For keeping us till now
Our souls not yieldeth to beasts
Nor unto devourers
Death and satan doth rage
Nay us God to forsake
Glory unto Most High God
Great Majesty; our God.
2. Multitude is Thine grace
On us bestow King of Kings
Thine protection, guide and care
And victory from the foes
In subconscious and life
And Thy bene-volence
Divine healing, miracle
Our thanks accept oh Lord.
3. Our riches not enough
Our clothings naught of worth
No worthy thanks unto Thee
But our songs rend to Thee
Our souls to Christ we give
Now and eternity
May heav’nly joy for us be
Promiseth us of Christ.
4. Even though wealth abound
Multitude houses built
Coats of colours purchaseth
Many are kids we born
Nay of joy they shall be
Nay our joy yet is full
Art we nay promises made
When we in dread and fright.
5. Why afrightened art thou
Christ Jesus all can wrought
Art thou tempest tossed and drift
To Jesus call for help
Peter calleth for help
Peter ne’er left to drown
Hezekiah calleth Him
Victory hath he won.
6. Those who Christ blood desire
Shall in their heart decide
From Lucifer to depart
And from his evil hosts
Wrath, strife, envy decline
Hatred revellings ignore
All ungodly acts and deeds
Now and for-ever-more.
7. Thanks we offer to God
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
Almighty, wonderful God
Lord and Saviour of men
Creation, Maker of days
Thy great Name we rever
Great is Thy be-ne-vo-lence
Our thanks receive oh Lord. Amen
