We Give Thanks to Our God

Original tune: How Firm a Foundation; Joseph Funk’s Genuine Church Music, 1832
Psalm 75:1

We give thanks to our God
Who from wrath he hath saved
We give thanks for his grace
We from sin who wert slaves.

I’ll sing praises loud, I will not be ashamed
How the mercy of God has become sinner’s fame.

We give thanks to our God
In our trials we rejoice
For the weight of true joy
Was the Savior’s glad choice

I’ll sing of the cross, what the Savior endured
For my shame is redeemed and now hope is secured

We give thanks to our God
For his wisdom and might
Who became sin for us;
His own blood is my right.

I’ll sing for my soul has been sealed by his love
For my name has been signed in the lamb’s book above.

Just a Sinner Saved by Grace

Original Tune: Just a closer walk with Thee; Anonymous


Thy law chased and found me in
Guilt and shame, all did offend
Adding sin upon my sin
No one good, O Lord, none but thee.

Chorus:
Just a sinner saved by grace
Jesus, Lord who took my place
He, who died for righteous sake,
Gives new life, my sin I now forsake.

Thy grace came and found me so
Lost in unbelief’s control
Hated love I did not know
Yet you save, you saved a wretched foe

Chorus:

When I’m weary from the fight
Jesus leads, thy Spirit’s might
Joy in suffering through this night,
Strength to walk by faith, not by sight.

Chorus:

When this race is finally won
Death will hold not a one
All sheep given to the Son
Hear the voice of Father say, “well done.”
