Lyrics
Give thanks to God on high for saints of other days
whose hope it was to live and die in love's eternal blaze
for Christ and his kingdom, his glory and his praise.
For Christ and his kingdom, his glory and his praise.

Their vision long fulfilled, our prayer is still the same:
upon their work of faith to build, their word of truth proclaim
for Christ and his kingdom and for his holy name.
For Christ and his kingdom and for his holy name.

New tasks today are ours who serve a world in pain,
new calls to challenge all our powers of heart and hand and brain
for Christ and his kingdom, while life and breath remain.
For Christ and his kingdom, while life and breath remain.

Give thanks to God on high for all the future sends,
in praise of Christ to live and die, who calls his servants friends.
For Christ and his kingdom, whose glory never ends.
For Christ and his kingdom, whose glory never ends.
