1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee
Who dost forgive iniquity.
Thou grantest help in sin's distress,
And soul and body dost Thou bless.
2 Thy servant now declares to me:
"Thy sins are all forgiven thee.
Depart in peace, but sin no more
And e'er My pard'ning grace adore."
3 O Lord, we bless Thy gracious heart,
For Thou Thyself dost heal our smart
Thro' Christ, our Savior's precious blood,
Which for the sake of sinners flowed.
4 Give us Thy Spirit, peace afford
Now and forever, gracious Lord.
Preserve to us till life is spent
Thy holy Word and Sacrament.
Amen.
