1 Holy Lord, holy Lord,
thanks and praise be yours, O Lord,
that your word to us is given,
teaching us with love out-poured
that as Lord of earth and heaven,
everlasting life for us to gain,
your were slain, you were slain.
2 Lord, our God, Lord, our God,
may your precious saving word,
till our days on earth are ended,
light unto our path afford;
then, among your saints ascended,
we for your redeeming love shall raise
ceaseless praise, ceaseless praise.
