WE PRAISE THEE, O GOD, OUR REDEEMER, CREATOR

"Sing to the Lord, you saints of His; praise His holy Name." Psalms 30:4

Words: Julia Bulkley Cady Cory, 1902. Cory wrote these words at the request of J. Archer Gibson, who wanted new lyrics for the tune "Kremser." Gibson was organist at the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City, which Cory's family attended.
Music: "Kremser," Dutch melody in The Collection, Adrianus Valerius, 1625. Arranged by Eduard Kremser, 1877.

We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator,
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring;
We lay it before Thee, we kneel and adore Thee,
We bless Thy holy Name, glad praises we sing.

We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee;
Through life's storm and tempest our guide have Thou been;
When perils overtake us, escape Thou will make us,
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win.

With voices united our praises we offer,
To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise.
Thy strong arm will guide us, our God is beside us,
To Thee, our great Redeemer, forever be praise.
