I greet thee, who my Redeemer art;
My only trust and Saviour 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 ev'ry 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 pow'r,
And give us strength in ev’ry 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.
