170. For Thy Mercy and Thy Grace

1. For thy mercy and thy grace,
Faithful through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness;
Saviour and Redeemer, hear!

2. Lo, our sins on thee we cast,
Thee, our perfect sacrifice,
And, forgetting all the past,
Press unto our glorious prize.

3. In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength, be thou our stay;
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and lving way.

4. Keep us faithful, keep us pure,
Keep us evermore thine own.
Help, O help us to endure;
Fit us for the promised crown.
