I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art

I greet Thee

who my sure Re­deem­er art

My only trust and Sav­ior of my heart

Who pain didst un­der­go for my poor sake;

I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take.

Thou art 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 Thy pure day.

Thou art the life

by which alone we live

And all our sub­stance and our strength re­ceive;

Sustain us by Thy faith and by Thy pow­er

And give us strength in ev­ery try­ing hour.

Thou hast the true and per­fect gen­tle­ness

No harsh­ness hast Thou and no bit­ter­ness;

O grant to us the grace we find in Thee

That we may dwell in per­fect uni­ty.

Our hope is in no oth­er save in Thee;

Our faith is built up­on Thy pro­mise free;

Lord

give us peace

and make us calm and sure

That in Thy strength we ev­er­more en­dure.
