1 Now may He who from the dead Brought the Shepherd of the sheep, Jesus Christ, our King and Head, All our souls in safety keep! 2 May He teach us to fulfill What is pleasing in His sight; Perfect us all in His will, And preserve us day and night! 3 To that dear Redeemer's praise, Who the covenant sealed with blood, Let our hearts and voices raise Loud thanksgivings to our God.
