For This We Give You Praise

Lord, You have worked in ages past,
And in our fathers' days,
Laid bare Your arm on their behalf;
For this we give You praise.

You saved our nation when distressed,
And prospered all our ways,
With justice for those who're oppressed;
For this we give You praise.

Lord, You have given us Your word,
Because You showed us grace,
You gave us ears, and we have heard;
For this we give You praise.

You gave Your Son, our sacrifice,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
Then resurrected us to life;
For this we give You praise.

Lord, You sustained through poverty,
When we were only slaves,
We'll speak to our posterity,
That they may give You praise.
