Lyrics

Thou art, O God, the God of might;
Thy pow­er is ne­ver fail­ing;
Thou safe­ly lead­est in the fight,
’Gainst ev­ery foe pre­vail­ing.

Thou art, O God, the God of truth;
Thy Word re­mains un­shak­en;
Thy jus­tice and Thy righ­teous­ness
Have ev­ery strong­hold tak­en.

Thou art, O God, the God of love;
Thy mer­cy is un­end­ing;
Thou guard­est us with ten­der care,
Each day our souls de­fend­ing.

Thou art, O God, the God of grace;
Though sin our hearts hath har­dened,
Thy grace can wash away the stain,
And Hea­ven re­ceive us par­doned.
