OH praise our great and gracious Lord,

OH praise our great and gracious Lord, And call upon His name; To strains of joy tune every chord, His mighty acts proclaim. Tell how He led His chosen race To Canaan's promised land; Tell how His covenant of grace, Unchanged shall ever stand.

He gave the shadowing cloud by day, The moving fire by night; To guide His Israel on their way, He made their darkness light. And have not we a sure retreat, A Saviour ever nigh? The same clear light to guide our feet, The day-spring from on high?

We, too, have manna from above, The bread that came from heaven; To us the same kind hand of love Hath living waters given. A rock we have from whence the spring In rich abundance flows; That rock is Christ, our Priest, our King, Who life and health bestows.

Oh let us prize this blessed food, And trust our heavenly Guide; So shall we find death's fearful flood Serene as Jordan's tide; And safely reach that happy shore, The land of peace and rest, Where angels worship and adore,
