SS&S Hymn #1058: We praise Thee, O Lord

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

We praise Thee, O Lord, for the bountiful harvest
That now has been gathered and garnered with care;
Rewarding the toil of the sower and reaper,
While all in its blessings may share.
For the boun - - - tiful harvest, we praise Thee,
We thank Thee and bless Thee, O Lord:
For the boun tiful harvest, we praise Thee,
and bless Thee, O Lord.

We praise Thee, O Lord, for the bountiful harvest,
We praise Thee for sunshine, the dew, and the rain;
For soft summer breezes so gracefully bending
The bright golden billows of grain.

We praise Thee, O Lord, for Thy wonderful token
That shines as it shone on Thy servants of old,
The pledge and assurance that seedtime and harvest
From earth Thou wilt never withhold.

We bless Thee, O Lord, for Thy wonderful mercies;
And while to Thy glory our voices we raise,
O Thou that regardest the prayers of Thy people,
Accept our thanksgiving and praise.
