172. Lamb of God, for Sinners Slain

1 Lamb of God, for sinners lain;
By Thy mercy born again,
For Thy guidance still we pray,
Lest from grace we fall away.

2 By the mystic, cleansing flood,
By the water and the blood,
Washed and sanctified to Thee,
Holy may we ever be.

3 Aid us with Thy daily grace
Steadfastly to run our race;
Grant us vict’ry in the strife,
And the prize of endless life.

4 Praise to Thee, from all on earth,
God, who gavest us new birth;
Praise from all the heav’nly host;
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.
