The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#937

937. For thy mercy and thy grace

1 For thy mercy and thy grace,
Faithful through another year,
Hear our song of thankfulness;
Jesus, our redeemer, hear.

2 Veiled the future; let thy light
Guide us, Bright and Morning Star;
Fierce our foes and hard the fight,
Arm us, Saviour, for the war.

3 In our weakness and distress,
Rock of strength, be thou our stay;
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living way,

4 Keep us faithful, keep us pure,
Keep us evermore thine own;
Help, O help us to endure;
Fit us for the promised crown.
