For Thy Mercy And Thy Grace

 

"...to the praise of the gory of His grace,
which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved."
(Ephesians 1:6)

A painting by Kathryn Andrews Fincher

For Thy mercy and Thy grace,

Faithful through another year,

Hear our song of thankfulness;

Father and Redeemer, hear.

Keep us faithful, keep us pure,

Keep us evermore Thine own;

Help, O help us to endure;

Fit us for the promised crown.

Amen.
