HYMN 63. Christ the Saints Strength and Guide.

1

O Lord we praise thee with our Souls,
thou dost us Warning give
Of the great Dangers we are in,
and tell'st us how to Live.

2

Tis thou must give us Pow'r and Might,
that we may Watchful be;
To give us Strength, that Day and Night
we may sing Praise to Thee!

3

Our Steps direct, our Souls protect,
and in the way of Peace
Lead us, we pray; then to th'last Day
our Joy will never cease.

4

Thou wilt not leave us, we do know,
to Fight, or War, alone;
But wilt assist us evemore,
until all Danger's gone.

5

Worthy art thou, therefore, O Lord,
of Praise continually;
Let all that is in us give Thanks,
and Praise Thee till we Die.
