O God of our salvation

Verse 1

O God of our salvation
Our Spirit soul and life
Our health, shield and defender
Our everlasting peace
We Thy children humbly stand
To glorify Thy name
For the great gift you bestow
Through Jesus Christ Thy Son.

Verse 2

Our hearts are filled with praises
For all Thy ceaseless care
On all of Thy dear children
Scattered all o'er the world
We implore Thee to help us
Continue in Thy will
And that our light may so shine
Upon the whole wide world.

Verse 3

Glory to God the Father
Glory to God the Son
To Holy Ghost give glory
Ever blessed Three-in-One
Accept our songs of praises
Also the prayer we bring
For the great gift you bestow
Through Jesus Christ Thy Son.
