Tune: | CULBACH (ACH WANN) |
Composer: | Johann Scheffler, 1624-1677 |
1 For thy mercy and thy grace,
faithful through another year,
hear our song of thankfulness;
Jesus, our 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 Make us faithful, keep us pure,
keep us evermore thine own,
help, O help us to endure,
fit us for thy promised crown.
5 So within thy palace gate
we shall praise, on golden strings,
thee the only Potentate,
Lord of lords, and King of kings.
