O God of Our Salvation,
tr., John Brownlie

7,6,7,6 D

I

O God of our salvation,

Who in Thy glorious might,

Didst speak, and all creation

Arose from brooding night;

And chaos, and confusion,

To form and order sped,

While lo! in rich profusion

The earth its beauty spread.

II

O God of our salvation,

Thy word hath still its power,

And souls in desolation

Are lying at this hour;

Speak as of old, and banish

The chaos and the night,

And bid their sorrows vanish

Before Thy glorious light.

III

O God of our salvation,

Thy Word our Flesh became;

To free from condemnation

He bore our human name,

And spoke to us confiding

Of all the Father willed;

And we, with Him abiding,

Are with His fulness filled.

IV

O God of our salvation,

Thou, Christ, in mercy come,

And make Thy new creation

Thine everlasting home;

And in our hearts abiding,

And in Thy Church adored,

Still speak the word confiding,

O Jesus Christ, our Lord.

o love of god surpassing
