Happy Feast of the Reformation of the Church! O God, our Lord, Thy holy Word Was long a hidden treasure Till to its place It was by grace Restored in fullest measure. For this today Our thanks we say And gladly glorify Thee. Thy mercy show And grace bestow On all who still deny Thee. Salvation free By faith in Thee, That is Thy Gospels preaching, The heart and core of Bible lore In all its sacred teaching. In Christ we must Put all our trust, Not in our deeds or labor; With conscience pure And heart secure Love Thee, Lord, and our neighbor. Thou, Lord, alone This work hast done By Thy free grace and favor. All who believe Will grace receive Thro Jesus Christ, our Savior. And tho the Foe Would overthrow Thy Word with grim endeavor, All he hath wrought Must come to naught, Thy Word will stand forever. My Lord art Thou, And for me now Death holds no dreadful terrors; Thy precious blood, My highest good, Hath blotted out my errors. My thanks to Thee! Thou wilt to me Fulfill Thy promise ever And mercy give While here I live And heavnly bliss forever. Amen. (TLH 266)
