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 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; oh, comfort us in death's approaching hour, strong-hearted then to face it by thy pow'r.
Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness, no harshness hast thou and no bitterness: make us to taste the sweet grace found in thee and ever stay in thy sweet unity.
Our hope is in no other save in thee; our faith is built upon thy promise free; oh, grant to us such stronger hope and sure that we can boldly conquer and endure.
