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.
 
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.
 
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, 1725-1807
