1 Father of mercies now excite
In us a thankful mind;
Thy loving kindness, oh, how great
To us and all mankind!

2 Thanks for creation are thy due,
For life preserved by thee;
And all thy blessings, fresh and new,
So great and yet so free.

3 Thanks for redemption to our race,
By thee through Jesus given;
Thanks for the plenteous means of grace,
And for the hope of heaven.

4 O may thy goodness, all our days,
Our best affections move;
That while our lips proclaim thy praise,
Our hearts may feel thy love.
