434. Now may He Who from the dead

1 Now may He Who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep.

2 May He teach us to fulfill
What is pleasing in His sight;
Perfect us in all His will,
And preserve us day and night.

3 To that dear Redeemer's praise,
Who the covenant sealed with Blood,
Let our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.

Amen.
