Verse 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.
Verse 2
May He teach us to fulfil
What is pleasing in His sight;
Perfect us in all His will,
And preserve us day and night.
Verse 3
To that dear Redeemer’s praise,
Who the covenant sealed with blood,
Let our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.
John Newton, “Now May He, Who From the Dead”
