Our God, we raise to Thee
Sacred Hymns (Manchester Hymnal)
(1840, 1912 ed.), 36
1. Our God, we raise to TheeThanks for Thy blessings freeWe here enjoy;In this far western land,A true and chosen band,Let hither by Thy hand,We sing for joy.
2. Bless thou our Prophet dear;May health and comfort cheerHis noble heart;His words with fire impressOn souls that thou wilt bless;To choose in righteousness,The better part.
3. So shall Thy kingdom spread,As by Thy Prophet said,From sea to sea;As one united wholeTruth burn in every soul,While hast’ning to the goalWe long to see.
4. O may Thy Saints be one,Like Father and the Son,Nor disagree;United heart and hand,So may they ever stand,A firm and valiant band,Eternally.
