LyicsGod of our salvation!
Unto thee we pray;
Hear our supplication,
Be our strength and stay.
Wretched and unworthy,
Poor, and sick, and blind,
Prostrate we adore thee,
Call thy grace to mind.
He that dwelleth near thee,
Safely shall abide;
Ever love and fear thee,
In thy strength confide.
Sure is thy protection,
Safe is thy defense,
While in deep affliction,
Wo, or pestilence.
God of our salvation!
Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Boundless thy compassion,
Infinite thy grace.
While with love unceasing,
Humbly we adore;
Grant us thy rich blessing,
And we ask no more.
