1 SING to the great Jehovah's praise!
All praise to him belongs:
Who kindly lengthens out our days
Demands our choicest songs.
2 His providence hath brought us through
Another various year:
We all with vows and anthems new
Before our God appear.
3 Father, thy mercies past we own;
Thy still continued care;
To thee presenting, through thy Son,
Whate'er we have or own.
4 Our lips and lives shall gladly show
The wonders of thy love,
While on in Jesu's steps we go
To see thy face above.
5 Our residue of days or hours
Thine, wholly thine, shall be;
And all our consecrated powers
A sacrifice to be:
6 Till Jesus in the clouds appear
To saints on earth forgiven,
And bring the grand Sabbatic year,
The jubilee of heaven.
