Author: David Mowbray, 1938- Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 107:23-33 First Line: "Oh give thanks, for God is gracious!" Lyrics: 1 "Oh give thanks, for God is gracious!"
now may Israel truly say;
through great trials God has brought us
to the dawn of this new day.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
2 When God's people walked the desert,
hungry, thirsty, faint of heart,
God prepared for them a city,
gave them hope and took their part.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
3 Those who steer their ships through trouble,
ride the storm and plumb the deep,
reach at length their promised haven,
bless that grace which brings them sleep.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
4 Oh give thanks for all God's mercies:
fields are watered, crops are sown,
sheep and cattle fill the pastures,
babes in arms have safely grown.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
