Let us, brothers, let us gladly

Verse 1

Brothers, sisters, let us gladly give to God our all, our best: service hearty, thorough, honest, with a living love impressed. All our duty, all our striving, all our time to him belong; praise him, then, with true devotion, come before him with a song.

Verse 2

By his mercy, by his bounty, by the gift of Christ, his Son, what great goodness he has shown us, what high marvels he has done! Let us to him promptly, freely, yield our bodies and our souls, thankful that his love protects us, that his wisdom all controls.

Verse 3

Gracious Lord, accept our service for the sake of Christ, your Son; lo, our hope abides now only in the righteousness he won. Bless and save us, help and guide us, watch to comfort and restore, till in heav'n we rest rejoicing, praising you forevermore.
