1 We bless Thee, Jesus Christ our Lord; Forever be Thy name adored: For Thou, the sinless One, hast died, That sinners might be justified. 2 O very Man, and very God, Who hast redeemed us with Thy blood; From death eternal set us free, And make us one with God in Thee. 3 From sin and shame defend us still, And work in us Thy steadfast will, The cross with patience to sustain, And bravely bear its utmost pain. 4 In Thee we trust, in Thee alone; For Thou forsakest not Thine own; To all the meek Thy strength is giv'n, Who by Thy cross ascend to heav'n.
