Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. ‎#a41

a41. For Thy mercy and Thy grace

1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace,
Constant 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 Which 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 Make us faithful, keep us pure;
Keep us evermore Thine own;
Help Thy servants to endure;
Fit us for the 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.
