Verse 1
Father, we give you thanks, who planted
your holy name within our hearts;
knowledge and faith and life immortal
Jesus, your Son, to us imparts.
Chorus
To you, O Lord, our hearts we raise;
'tis right to give our thanks and praise.
Verse 2
Lord, you have made all for your pleasure
and given us food for all our days,
giving in Christ the bread eternal,
Yours is the power; be yours the praise.
Verse 3
Watch o'er your church, O Lord, in mercy,
save it from evil, guard it still;
perfect it in your love, unite it,
cleansed and conformed unto your will.
Verse 4
As grain, once scattered on the hillsides,
was in the broken bread made one,
so may your world-wide church be gathered
into your kingdom by your Son.
