- For the mercy and thy grace,
Faithful through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness,
Father and Redeemer, Hear.
- Lo, our sins on thee we cast,
Lo, to thee we now arise
And, forgetting all the past,
Press towards our glorious prize.
- Dark the future: let thy light
Guide us, bright and morning star;
Fierce our foes, and hard the fight:
Arm us, Saviour,for the war.
- In our weakness and distress,
Rock our strength, be thou our stay;
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living way.
- Keep us faithful, keep us pure,
keep us evermore thine own:
Help, O help us to endure;
Fit us for the promise crown.
