The voice of thanksgiving we cheerfully raise, On this, our glad festival day; The house of our God shall reecho with praise For blessings He show’rs on our way.

We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him, Our gifts on His altar we’ll lay; We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him, On this, our glad festival day.

He brightens the day with His sunbeams of love, The nights, with the stars of His grace; In ev’ry sweet token that comes from above, His goodness and mercy we trace.

We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him, Our gifts on His altar we’ll lay; We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him, On this, our glad festival day.

We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him, Our gifts on His altar we’ll lay; We’ll praise Him, we’ll praise Him, On this, our glad festival day.
