For Thy Mercy And Thy Grace [#ForThyMercy #ForThyGrace #ThyMercy #ThyGrace]

Song written by:
Original in English: Henry Downton (Pulverbatch, Shropshire, England, UK, February 12, 1818 – Hopton, Suffolk, England, UK, June 8, 1885)

1
For Thy mercy and Thy grace
Constant through another year
Hear our song of thankfulness
Jesus our Redeemer hear

2
Lo our sins on Thee we cast
Thee our perfect Sacrifice
And forgetting all the past
Press towards our glorious prize

3
Dark the future let Thy light
Guide us bright and morning Star
Fierce our foes and hard the fight
Arm us Savior for the war

4
In our weakness and distress
Rock of strength be Thou our Stay
In the pathless wilderness
Be our true and living Way

5
Who of us death’s awful road
In the coming year shall tread
With Thy rod and staff O God
Comfort Thou his dying bed

6
Keep us faithful keep us pure
Keep us evermore Thine own
Help O help us to endure
Fit us for the promised crown

7
So within Thy palace gate
We shall praise on golden strings
Thee the only potentate
Lord of lords and King of kings
