O Lord We Praise Thee

1. O Lord, we praise Thee, bless Thee, and a- dore Thee, In thanks- giv- ing bow be- fore Thee Thou with Thy bo- dy and Thy blood didst nou- rish Our weak souls that they may flou- rish: O Lord, have mer- cy! May Thy bo- dy, Lord, born of Ma- ry, That our sins and sor- rows did car- ry, And Thy blood for us plead In all tri- al, fear, and need: O Lord, have mer- cy!

2. Thy ho- ly bo- dy in- to death was gi- ven, Life to win for us in hea- ven. No great- er love than this to Thee could bind us; May this feast there- of re- mind us! O Lord, have mer- cy! Lord, Thy kind- ness did so con- strain Thee That Thy blood should bless and sus- tain me. All our debt Thou hast paid; Peace with God once more is made: O Lord, have mer- cy.

3. May God be- stow on us His grace and fa- vor To please Him with our be- ha- vior And live as breth- ren here in love and un- ion Nor re- pent this blest Co- mmun- ion! O Lord, have mer- cy! Let not Thy good Spir- it for- sake us; Grant that heav'n- ly\- min- ded He make us; Give Thy Church, Lord, to see Days of peace and u- ni- ty: O Lord, have mer- cy!
