6. Now thanks be unto God

1 We thank thee, O our God,
For Christ, thy blessed Son,
Who, on the lifted cross,
Our peace and pardon won.

Chorus:
We thank thee, Lord, and praise thy name,
For Christ, thy blessed Son;
Who on the Cross of blood and shame,
Our peace and pardon won.

2 We thank thee for thy grace,
Thy mercy, peace, and pow'r,
So lovingly bestowed
Each swiftly passing hour. [Chorus]

3 We thank thee for thy hand,
Our falt'ring steps to guide;
Oh, never let us stray
One step from thee a aside. [Chorus]
