Religion
For a Thanksgiving-Day
From The Poetical Works (1859)
Religion
Lift high the sound of thanks and praise:
Hallelujah!
In God's own Church your voices raise:
Hallelujah!
For all the mercies of His love
Our lips and lives shall grateful prove:
Hallelujah!
He is our Strength: He is our King:
Hallelujah!
He will His Church to glory bring:
Hallelujah!
To God the Father, Spirit, Son,
Be everlasting honor done:
Hallelujah!
