Song Lyrics

---

Sung to the well known tune used for the Thanksgiving hymn Thanks to God.

1.
Thanks to God for your resources
That supply our every need.
We enjoy so many courses
Both body and soul to feed.

We are rich due to your graces,
Children of the King are we.
With this world we'll not trade places,
But be yours eternally.

2.
Thank you Lord for loving-kindness.
Your love is beyond compare.
Help us leave this world behind us,
And your kind of kindness share.

Thank you Lord for joy in Jesus;
Joy this world cannot impart.
Thank you Lord, this joy now frees us;
From this world sets us apart.

3.
Thanks for peace not comprehended,
By this world so full of war.
Thanks for judgment you've suspended
On our sins that you abhor.

Thanks for patience in your dealing
With our failure and our sin.
Thanks for compassionate feeling
That helps us begin again.

4.
Thank you Lord for your great goodness,
Which brings life like sun and rain.
We're so grateful for your goodness
Which gives pleasure and not pain.

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness
Than will never let us down.
You will guide through this wilderness
Till we wear that vict'ry crown.

5.
Thank you Lord for your gentleness,
As you hold us in your hand.
You never leave us comfortless,
Even when you reprimand.

Thank you Lord for your self-control
That our judgment did prevent.
Thank you Lord we can reach life's goal
By our Savior you have sent.
