Ah, Mary, I'm forever in your debt. I forgot about the hymnals I left in the car. I found it, and it's quite nice.

O GOD BEYOND ALL PRAISING
(text: Michael Perry, 1982; tune: THAXTED - Gustav Holst)

O God beyond all praising, We worship you today.
And sing the love amazing That songs cannot repay.
For we can only wonder At every gift you send.
At blessings without number And mercies without end.
We lift our hearts before you And wait upon your word.
We honor and adore you, Our great and mighty Lord.

Then hear, O gracious Savior, Accept the love we bring.
That we who know your favor May serve you as our king.
And whether our tomorrows Be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows And rise to bless you still.
To marvel at your beauty And glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty Our sacrifice of praise.

Aw, I think I'll leave it an instrumental. The tune seems more inspiring than the words.
