1 O Saviour, who didst come
By water and by blood;
Confessed on earth, adored in heaven,
Eternal Son of God!
2 Jesus, our life and hope,
To endless years the same;
We plead thy gracious promises;
And rest upon thy name.
3 By faith in thee we live,
By faith in thee we stand,
By thee we vanquish sin and death,
And gain the heavenly land.
4 O Lord, increase our faith;
Our fearful spirits calm;
Sustain us through this mortal strife,
Then give the victor's palm!
