Lyrics

Let us sing of the won­der­ful mercy of God,
Of His con­stant pro­tect­ion and care;
Let our fer­vent de­vo­tions like in­cense arise,
When we ga­ther be­fore Him in pray­er.

Refrain

Let us praise and ad­ore Him for all He hath done,
Let us tell of His good­ness and care;
Let our fer­vent de­vo­tions like in­cense arise,
When we ga­ther be­fore Him in pray­er.

Let us sing of the won­derf­ul gift of His grace,
That to us He has ten­der­ly shown;
In the bless­èd com­mun­ion with Je­sus His Son,
That has brought us so near to His throne.

Refrain

Let us pray that His bless­ing may fol­low us still,
That His light on our path­way may shine;
And at last, that our spir­its made per­fect in Him,
May in­her­it His king­dom di­vine.
