Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #41 (1893) Lyrics: 1 FOR Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Constant 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 head.
4 Make us faithful, make 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.
