1 For thy mercy and thy grace,
Faithful through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness;
Jesus,our Redeemer,hear.
2 Lo, our sins on thee we cast,
Thee,our perfect sacrifice;
And, forgetting all the past,
Press towards our glorious prize.
3 Dark the future:let the light
Guide us,bright and Morning Star;
Fierce our foes, and hard the fight:
Arm us, Saviour for the war.
4 In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength,be thou our stay;
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living way.
