Praise we the Lord
Language: English
Praise we the Lord who made all beauty For all our senses to enjoy. Owe we our humble thanks and duty That simple pleasures never cloy; Praise we the Lord who made all beauty For all our senses to enjoy. Praise Him who makes our life a pleasure, Sending us things which glad our eyes. Thank Him who gives us welcome leisure That in our heart sweet thoughts may rise; Praise Him who makes our life a pleasure, Sending us things which glad our eyes. Praise Him who by a simple flower Lifts up our hearts to things above; Thank Him gives to each one power To find a friend to know and love; Praise Him who by a simple flower Lifts up our hearts to things above.
