Thus didst Thou our souls deliver From the bonds of sin forever; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only, That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless Thy soul did languish To bring comfort in our anguish; Praise and glory ever be, Blessed Jesus, unto thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; To my latest breath I'll offer Thanks for all that Thou didst suffer, For that last last expiring sigh Praise Thee evermore on high. Amen.
