SDA Hymnal 105
Sing to the Great Jehovah's Praise
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1Sing to the great Jehovah's praise!
All praise to Him belongs;
Who kindly lengthens out our days,
Inspires our choicest songs.
2His providence hath brought us through
Another various year;
We all, with vows and anthems new,
Before our God appear.
3O God, Thy mercies past we own,
And Thy continued care;
To Thee presenting, through Thy Son,
Whatever we have and are.
