O Faithful God, Thanks Be to Thee

O faith­ful God

thanks be to Thee

Who dost for­give in­iq­ui­ty.

Thou grant­est help in sin’s dis­tress

And soul and bo­dy dost Thou bless.

Thy Serv­ant now de­clares to me;

Thy sins are all for­giv­en thee.

Depart in peace

but sin no more

And e’er My par­don­ing grace adore.

O Lord

we bless Thy gra­cious heart

For Thou Thy­self dost heal our smart

Thro’ Christ our Sav­ior’s pre­cious blood

Which for the sake of sin­ners flowed.

Give us Thy Spir­it

peace af­ford

Now and for­ev­er

gra­cious Lord.

Preserve to us till life is spent

Thy ho­ly Word and sac­ra­ment.
