Author: Henry Downton (1818-85)
For your mercy and your grace
faithful through another year,
hear our song of thankfulness,
Saviour and Redeemer, hear.
2. All our sins on you we cast,
you, our perfect sacrifice;
and, forgetting what is past,
press towards our glorious prize.
3. Dark the future—let your light
guide us, bright and morning Star;
fierce the battles we must fight—
arm us, Saviour, for the war!
4. In our weakness and distress,
be our rock, O Lord, we pray;
in the pathless wilderness,
be our true and living way.
5. Keep us faithful, keep us pure,
keep us evermore your own;
help, O help us to endure,
make us fit to wear the crown!
