Author: Henry Downton Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #41b (1908) Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Constant thro' another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness;
Father 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 Which 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 Thy servants to endure;
Fit us for the 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. Topics: The Church Year Sylvester Eve Languages: English Tune Title: PENTECOST
