123 Lord Jesus Christ, You Set Us Free

1 Lord Jesus Christ, you set us free-- Accepted our thanks eternally! Forgiven through your precious blood, We now are reconciled to God. 2 By virtue of the wounds you bore, True God and Man, our hope restore. Give courage when we yield our breath; Deliver us from hell and death. 3 Defend us, Lord, from sin and shame; Help us by your almighty name To bear our crosses patiently, Consoled by your great agony. 4 For thus the certainty we gain That you will always true remain And not forsake us in our strife But lead us out of death to life.
