Worship, And Thanks, And Blessing ( 13 )

Worship, and thanks, and blessing,
And strength ascribe to Jesus!
The Lord alone defends His own,
When earth or hell oppresses.
Omnipotent Redeemer!
Our ransomed souls adore Thee;
Our Savior Thou, we own it now,
And give to Thee the glory.

Thine arm hath safely brought us
A way no more expected
Than when Thy sheep passed through the deep
By crystal walls protected.
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
Brought through each sore temptation;
With heart and voice, in Thee rejoice,
Thou God of our salvation.

Thy glory is our rear-ward,
Thy hand our lives doth cover;
And we, e’en we, have passed the sea,
And marched triumphant over;
We own thy great deliverance,
And triumph in Thy favor;
And for the love which now we prove,
Shall praise Thy name for ever.
