The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#116a

116a. Thanks to our heavenly Father

1 Thanks to our heavenly Father,
Tho' angels tune his praise,
He will permit his children
Their humble song to raise.
Thanks to our heavenly Father,
Whose love protects us here,
And spares us yet to welcome
Another happy year.

2 For all the years departed,
For all the years to come,
For all the thousand blessings
That crown our happy home,
For all our loving kindred,
For all the friends we claim,
We thank our heavenly Father,
And bless his holy name.
