Christian Hymns ‎#122

122. For Thy mercy and Thy grace

1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Constant through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness,
Jesus and Redeemer, hear.

2 In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength, be Thou our stay;
In the pathless wilderness,
Be our true and living way.

3 Who of us death's awful road
In the coming year shall tread,
With Thy rod and staff, O God,
Comfort Thou his dying bed.

4 Keep us faithful, keep us pure,
Keep us evermore Thine own;
Help, O help us to endure;
Fit us for the promised crown.
