Sheet music

  1. 1For Thy mercy and Thy grace,Constant through another year,Hear our song of thankfulness,Father and Redeemer, hear!Dark the future; let Thy lightGuide us, bright and morning star:Fierce our foes and hard the fight;Arm us, Savior, for the war.
  2. 2In our weakness and distress,Rock of strength, be Thou our stay;In the pathless wilderness,Be our true and living way.Keep us faithful keep us pure,Keep us evermore Thine own;Help, O help us to endure;Fit us for the promised crown.Amen.
