236. Holy Lord, Holy Lord

1 Holy Lord, holy Lord,
Thanks and praise be ever Thine,
That Thy Word to us is given,
Teaching us with power divine
That the Lord of earth and heaven,
Everlasting life for us to gain,
Once was slain, Once was slain.

2 Lord, our God, Lord, our God,
May Thy precious saving Word,
Till our race on earth is ended,
Light unto our path afford;
Then, among Thy saints ascended,
We for Thy redeeming love shall raise
Ceaseless praise, Ceaseless praise.
