thank you for all your love has planned;
thank you for food and daily blessings,
gifts from your ever-gracious hand.
2 Thank you for such a great salvation,
mercy as boundless as the sea;
thank you for love which died to save us,
love which gave all to set us free.
3 Thank you for means of grace and guidance,
gifts of your Spirit, strength divine;
thank you for word and prayer and symbol,
food for our souls in bread and wine.
4 Thank you for that blessed hope of glory,
great day when Christ shall come again,
day when, in perfect love and justice
he in his majesty shall reign.
5 Grant us, because of all your mercies,
lips which proclaim our thanks and praise;
lives which, in loving glad surrender,
serve and adore you all their days.
6 Glory to God our heavenly Father,
glory to Jesus, God the Son;
glory to God the Holy Spirit;
glory to God the Three-in-One. Topics: Commitment; Communion; God Creator and Ruler; Salvation; Second Coming Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 Languages: English Tune Title: LES COMMANDEMENTS DE DIEU
