Lyics

TO GOD the only wise,

Who keeps us by his word,

Be glory now and evermore,

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.



Hosanna to the Word,

Who from the Father came!

Ascribe salvation to the Lord,

And ever bless his name.



The grace of Christ our Lord,

The Father's boundless love,

The Spirit's blest communion, too,

Be with us from above.
