Preserved by Thine Almighty Power

Preserved by Thine al­migh­ty pow­er

O Lord

our Mak­er

Sav­ior

King

And brought to see this hap­py hour

We come Thy prais­es here to sing.

Happy day

hap­py day!

Here in Thy courts we’ll glad­ly stay

And at Thy foot­stool hum­bly pray

That thou wouldst take our sins away.

Happy day

hap­py day!

When Christ shall wash our sins away!

We praise Thee for Thy con­stant care

For life pre­served

for mer­cies giv’n;

Oh

may we still these mer­cies share

And taste the joys of sins for­giv’n.

We praise Thee for the joy­ful news

Of pa­rdon through a Savior’s blood;

O Lord

in­cline our hearts to choose

The way to hap­pi­ness and God.

And when on earth our days are done

Grant

Lord

that we at length may sing

With teach­ers

schol­ars

round Thy throne

The song of Mos­es and the Lamb.
