288. O Thou, Whose Mercies Far Exceed

C.M.D.
1
O Thou, whose mercies far exceed
 
All we can do or say,
 
As in Thy people Thou indeed
 
Dost daily more display;
 
Let, for our happiness, O God,
 
On us while here below,
 
By virtue of Christ’s death and blood,
 
Thy richest blessings flow.
2
Preserve Thy flock most graciously,
 
Within Thy sheltering fold;
 
Move them from every harm away,
 
And in Thy safeguard hold;
 
Till Thou shalt fully have obtained
 
In us the fruits of grace,
 
And we, in joys that never end,
 
Shall see Thee face to face.
“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.” (Psalm 4:8)
“His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:21)
“His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” (Matthew 25:23)
3
Do Thou, the very God of peace,
 
Us wholly sanctify,
 
And grant us such a rich increase
 
Of power from on high,
 
That spirit, soul and body may,
 
Preservèd free from stain,
 
Be blameless until that great day;
 
Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
