M. C. Day
TEN thousand thanks to Jesus,
Whose life our ransom paid,
Whose blood a full atonement
For all the world has made:
Let every heart adore Him;
Let every creature sing
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus,
Our Saviour and our King.
Ten thousand thanks, ten thousand thanks,
We’ll praise Him o’er and o’er;
And for the life with Him to live,
Ten thousand thousand more.
2
Ten thousand hearts to Jesus
How gladly would we give;
Ten thousand lives to Jesus,
Had we so long to live:
Ten thousand tongues shall praise Him,
Ten thousand songs ascend
To Him, our blest Redeemer,
To Him, our dearest Friend.
3
Ten thousand thanks to Jesus
For blessings every hour;
Ten thousand times ten thousand,
For love’s redeeming power:
And when we hear His welcome
Beyond the rolling sea,
His love through endless ages
Our sweetest song shall be.
