316. Our Gracious God

1 Our gracious God sent the Savior,
who, showing perfect behavior,
conquered each test and temptation,
by his death brought us salvation.

2 So to our God we sing praises,
who all our spirits upraises,
and we rejoice in the telling
of his dear grace in us dwelling.

3 Thanks to his love's wide outpouring
and to the Spirit's imploring,
joy in our hearts is abiding,
suff'ring and pain are subsiding.
