SDA Hymnal 642
We Praise Thee With Our Minds
Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]
1We praise Thee with our minds, O Lord.
Kept sharp to think Thy thought;
Come, Holy Ghost with grace out-poured,
To teach what Christ hath taught.
In all our learning may we seek
That wisdom from above
Which comes to all: the brave, the meek
Who ask in faith and love.
2We praise Thee thro' our bodies, Lord.
Kept strong to do Thy will;
Thy Spirit's temples, which afford
A means to praise Thee still.
We give our energies, a sacrifice,
To live as unto Thee;
Thou alone hast paid the price
To bring salvation free.
3We praise Thee in our hearts, O King.
Kept pure to know Thy ways;
And raise to Thee a hymn to sing
Eternal praise.
Alto the adoring hearts will bow
As age on ages roll;
We praise Thee in our beings now,
Mind, body, heart, and soul.
