625. We Greet You, Sure Redeemer from All Strife

1 we greet you, sure Redeemer from all strife,
Our only Trust and Savior of our life,
Who pain did undergo for our poor sake;
We pray you from our hearts all cares to take.

2 You are the King of mercy and of grace,
Reigning omnipotent in every place:
So come, O King, and our whole being sway;
Shine on us with the light of your pure day.

3 You are the life, in which we do believe,
From you all substance and our strength receive;
Sustain us by your faith and by your power,
And give us strength in every trying hour.

4 You have the true and perfect gentleness,
You have no harshness and no bitterness:
O grant to us the grace in you we see
That we may dwell in perfect unity.

5 Our hope is in no other save in you;
Our faith is built upon Thy promise true;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
That in your strength we evermore endure.

Amen.
