67. Thou art, O God, the God of might

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

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

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

4 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.

Amen.
