Text: | For Thy Mercy and Thy Grace |
Author: | Henry Downton, 1818-1885 |
Tune: | ROSEFIELD |
Composer: | Rev. Henri Abraham Caesar Malan, 1787-1864 |
1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Faithful through 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 Who 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 Keep us faithful; keep us pure;
Keep us evermore Thine own.
Help, oh, 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.
Amen.
