On, Lord, we give our thanks TO Thee.
we thank Thee for the thousand ways
Thy mercy guards our present days.
Great God OF plenty's waving fields,
For garnered bins and gracious yields,
For purpling vine and laden tree,
We sing our harvest song to Thee.
Great God OF war, while other shores
Have echoed TO the cannon's roars,
And rivers Redeemed TO their seas,
We thank Thee, Lord, for smiling peace.
We praise Thee for the providence
That robbed the baleful pestilence
Of vict'ries that IL might have won
And horrors that Ii could have known.
We thank Thee for a prouder seat
Where nations shall In future meet;
wider field, a fairer fame
That gilds the Anglo-Saxon name.
But most OF all Thy name we bless
For stern rebukes to selhshness;
For splendid vict'ries over greed
That fattens on brothers need;
For curbs upon oppressors laid,
And lashes for the trust betrayed;
Devotion to the common good
And QuickeHed sense OF brotherhood;
For flaming up Of olden fires;
