Not on ourselves, thou God of grace,
But on thy power our hopes we place;
Glory and praise to thee belong;
Thy ways are wise, thine arm is strong.
We plead thy mercy, gracious Lord,
Rest on thy grace, and trust thy word;
Thy faithfulness through Christ we prove,
And bless thee for thy changeless love.
Thou dost in heaven thy throne maintain,
Thou dost o’er earth and nature reign,;
And to redeem thy chosen race
Hast given us Christ our hiding place.
Jesus, we know thy saving name,
And trust in thee th’atoning Lamb;
We are thy purchase; take thine own,
And make each conquered heart thy throne.
