287. Grateful Thanks

1 Now, from the altar of our hearts,
Let grateful thanks arise,
Assist us, Lord, to offer up
Our evening's sacrifice.

2 Awake! our love, awake! our joy:
Awake! our heart and tongue;
Sleep not when mercies loudly call:
Break forth into a song.

3 This day God was our sun and shield,
Our keeper and our guide;
His care was on our weakness shown,
His mercies multiplied.
