Let Hearts and Tongues Unite

Let hearts and tongues unite

And loud thanks­giv­ings raise;

’Tis du­ty

min­gled with de­light

The Sav­ior’s name to praise.

To Him we owe our breath

He took us from the womb

Which else had shut us up in death

And proved an ear­ly tomb.

When on the breast we hung

Our help was in the Lord;

’Twas He first taught our in­fant tongue

To form the lisp­ing word.

When in our blood we lay

He would not let us die

Because His love had fixed a day

To bring sal­va­tion nigh.

In child­hood and in youth

His eye was on us still;

Though strang­ers to His love and truth

And prone to cross His will.

And since His name we knew

How gra­cious has He been!

What dan­gers has He led us through

What mer­cies have we seen!

Now through an­oth­er year

Supported by His care;

We raise our Eb­en­ez­er here

The Lord has help­ed thus far.

Our lot in fu­ture years

Unable to fore­see

He

kind­ly to pre­vent our fears

Says

Leave it all to Me.

Yea

Lord

we wish to cast

Our cares up­on Thy breast!

Help us to praise Thee for the past

And trust Thee for the rest.
