How Can I Thank Thee, Lord

Author: August Crull, d. 1923; David Denicke; Johann Heermann Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #417 (1941) Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 How can I thank Thee, Lord, For all Thy loving-kindness, That Thou hast patiently Borne with me in my blindness? When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Thine anger ev'ry day. 2 It is Thy work alone That I am now converted; O'er Satan's work in me Thou hast Thy pow'r asserted. Thy mercy and Thy grace That rise afresh each morn Have turned my stony heart Into a heart new-born. 3 I could but grieve Thee, Lord, And with my sins displease Thee; Yet to atone for sin My works could not appease Thee. Though I could fall from grace And choose the way of sin, I had not strength to rise, A new life to begin. 4 Lord, Thou have raised me up To joy and exultation And clearly shown the way That leads me to salvation. My sins are washed away, For this I thank Thee, Lord; And with my heart and soul All dead works are abhorred. 5 Grant that Thy Spirit's help To me be always given Lest I should fall again And lose the way to heaven; That he may give me strength In my infirmity And e'er renew my heart To serve Thee willingly. 6 Oh, guide and lead me, Lord, While here below I wander That I may follow Thee Till I shall see Thee yonder. For if I led myself, I soon would go astray; But if Thou leadest me, I keep the narrow way. 7 O Father, God of Love, Hear Thou my supplication; O Savior, Son of God, Grant me Thy full salvation; And Thou, O Holy Ghost, Be Thou my faithful Guide That I may serve Thee here And there with Thee abide. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Scripture: Psalm 50:14 Languages: English Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT

How can I thank Thee, Lord

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #252 (1893) Meter: 6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 HOW can I thank Thee, Lord, For all Thy loving-kindness? Thou hast so long a time Had patience with my blindness, When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Thine anger every day. 2 Lord, Thou hast shown to me Divine commiseration: I persevered in sin, But Thou in great compassion; I did resist Thee, Lord, Deferring to repent; Thou didst defer Thy wrath And instant punishment. 3 It is Thy work alone, That I am now converted, Thy power o'er Satan's work In me Thou hast asserted; Thy mercy, that doth reach Unto the clouds, O Lord, Did break my stony heart By Thine own mighty Word. 4 Though able to offend Thee, Lord, by sin and failing, Still to regain Thy grace My strength was unavailing. Though I could fall from grace And choose the way of sin, I had no strength to rise, A new life to begin. 5 But Thou hast raised me up, And with divine compassion Hast shown me, Lord, the way That leadeth to salvation. I thank Thee, Lord, that now My former sins I hate, And freely--not from fear-- Dead works abominate. 6 That I may not backslide, But life in heaven inherit, Grant me, while here I live, O Lord, Thy holy Spirit, That He may give me strength In mine infirmity, And e'er renew my heart, To serve Thee willingly. 7 O guide and lead me, Lord, While here below I wander; Grant that I follow Thee, My Guide and my Commander. For if I lead myself, I soon am led astray, But if Thou leadest me, I do my duty aye. 8 O Father, God of Love, Hear now my supplication! Lord Jesus, Son of God, O grant me Thy salvation! And Thou, O Holy Ghost, Always abide with me, That I may serve Thee here, And there eternally! Topics: The Christian Life Experience Languages: English
