The New Christian Hymnal ‎#232

232. I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art

1. I greet Thee, who my sure Redeemer art,
My only Trust and Savior of my heart,
Who pain didst undergo for my poor sake;
I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take.

2. Thou art the King of mercy and of grace,
Reigning omnipotent in ev'ry place;
So come, O King, and our whole being sway;
Shine on us with the light of Thy pure day.

3. Thou art the life, by which alone we live,
And all our substance and our strength receive;
Comfort us by Thy faith and by Thy pow'r,
Nor faint our hearts when comes the trying hour.

4. Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness,
No harshness hast Thou and no bitterness;
Make us to taste the sweet grace found in Thee
And ever stay in Thy sweet unity.

5. Our hope is in no other save in Thee;
Our faith is built upon Thy promise free;
Come give us peace, make us so strong and sure,
That we may conqu'rors be and ills endure.
