Hymnal: Christian Hymns #11 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O faithful God, thanks be to Thee,
That Thou forgiv'st iniquity,
And helpest me in sin's distress,
And dost my soul and body bless.
2 By servant Thine Thou say'st to me:
"My child, thy sin's forgiven thee!
Depart in peace, and sin no more,
And e'er my pard'ning grace adore."
3 Yea, Lord, we bless the wondrous grace
That granteth us this joyful peace;
It is through Jesus' precious blood
That we enjoy the heavenly good.
4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give,
Help us in holiness to live;
Preserve to us, till life is spent,
Thy Holy Word and Sacrament.
