Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#85

85. To Thee, Lord Jesus, thanks we give

1 TO Thee, Lord Jesus, thanks we give,
Who diedst for us, that we might live,
And through Thy holy, precious blood
Didst make us righteous before God.

2 And pray Thee, O true God and Man,
Who wast for our offences slain:
Save us from everlasting death,
And cheer us, when we yield our breath.

3 Defend us, Lord, from sin and shame;
Help us by Thine almighty name,
To bear our crosses patiently,
To trust in Thy great agony,

4 And thence the full assurance gain,
That Thou wilt e'er our Friend remain,
And not forsake us in our strife,
Until we enter into life.
