13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine: 14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates. 15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice. 16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty: 17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.(KJV)

1. We praise Thee, O God, our Redeemer, Creator, 
In grateful devotion our tribute we bring; 
We lay it before Thee, We kneel and adore Thee, 
We bless Thy holy name, glad praises we sing. 

2. We worship Thee, God of our fathers, we bless Thee; 
Through life’s storm and tempest our Guide hast Thou been; 
When perils o’ertake us, Escape Thou wilt make us, 
And with Thy help, O Lord, our battles we win. 

3. With voices united our praises we offer, 
To Thee, great Jehovah, glad anthems we raise. 
Thy strong arm will guide us, Our God is beside us, 
To Thee, our great Redeemer, fore’er be praise.
