Author: Christoph Fischer, 1520-97; August Crull, 1845-1923 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #123 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, you set us free--
Accept our thanks eternally!
Forgiven through your precious blood,
We now are reconciled to God.
2 By virtue of the wounds you bore,
True God and Man, our hope restore.
Give courage when we yield our breath;
Deliver us from hell and death.
3 Defend us, Lord, from sin and shame;
Help us by your almighty name
To bear our crosses patiently,
Consoled by your great agony.
4 For thus the certainty we gain
That you will always true remain
And not forsake us in our strife
But lead us out of death to life. Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: WIR DANKEN DIR, HERR JESU CHRIST
