SA Song Book 452

1.
O thou God of full salvation,
King of righteousness divine,
Author of the new creation,
Light of life, within us shine!
Make us holy;
With thy blessing make us thine.

2.
From all self and sin deliver,
With thy nature make us good;
Make us kings and priests forever,
Wash our garments in thy blood.
O’er our Army
Send a great salvation flood.

3.
Sun of righteousness arising,
Cheer us while we bear the cross,
Living, dying, sacrificing,
Purify from sinful dross
Thy disciples;
Teach us how to gain by loss.

4.
Thou art love’s unfathomed ocean,
Wisdom’s deepest, clearest sea,
Heaven’s and earth’s salvation portion,
Parent of eternity;
Grace and glory
In abundance flow from thee.
