We praise Thee with our minds

by Hugh T. Mcelrath

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 642.

Verse 1

We praise Thee with our minds, O Lord, Kept sharp to think Thy thought; Come, Holy Ghost with grace outpoured, To teach what Christ hath taught. In all our learning may we seek That wisdom from above Which comes to all: the brave, the meek, Who ask in faith and love.

Verse 2

We praise Thee thro’ our bodies, Lord, Kept strong to do Thy will; Thy Spirit’s temples, which afford A means to praise Thee still. We give ourselves, a sacrifice, To live as unto Thee; For Thou alone hast paid the price To bring salvation free.

Verse 3

We praise Thee in our hearts, O king, Kept pure to know Thy ways; And raise to Thee a hymn to sing Eternally Thy praise. Altho adoring hearts will bow As age on ages roll; We praise Thee in our beings now, Mind, body, heart, and soul.
