Representative Text

1 Lo! Jesus' Name rich comfort is,
Our haven safe, in all distress.
Through Jesus grace we do receive,
He best doth all our cares relieve.

2 God's only Son, O Jesus mild,
Forgive us, sinful and beguiled!
Thou seest and canst help our need,
Thou, who art God and man indeed.

3 In Thee is all our righteousness,
In Thee all peace and happiness.
Who trusteth in Thy Holy Name,
He shall be saved from sin and shame.

4 We praise Thee for Thy living Word,
Baptismal grace, Thy table, Lord.
Grant us Thy help in all our strife,
And after death eternal life.
