We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer

334 We Praise Thee, O God, Our Redeemer

1. We praise You, O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
   In grateful devotion our tribute we bring.
   We lay it before You, we kneel and adore You,
   We bless Your holy name, glad praises we sing.

2. We worship You, God of our fathers, we bless You;
   Thro' life's storm and tempest our Guide You have been.
   When perils o'er-take us You will not forsake us,
   And with Your help, O Lord, our battles we win.

3. With voices united our praises we offer,
   And gladly our songs of thanksgiving we raise.
   With You, Lord, beside us, Your strong arm will guide us.
   To You, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.

<idle musing>
Not a terribly popular hymn, only occurring in abour 175 hymnals. Cyberhymnal notes that she later added a fourth verse for Christmas:

Thy love Thou didst show us, Thine only Son sending,
   Who came as a babe and whose bed was a stall,
   His blest life He gave us and then died to save us;
   We praise Thee, O Lord, for Thy gift to us all.
