Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Hear us, our dear heav’nly Father, as we thank thee for our Savior, he alone could love enough to give his life for all of us, O help us to remember thy dear son. Jesus suffer’d grief and pain that all of us might live again, O help us to be thankful for thy Son.
2. Teach us how to love and serve thee that we may be counted worthy, Teach us to be reverent while talking of the Sacrament, O teach us how to worship thy dear son. If our hearts are pure within, he’ll keep us from the paths of sin that we may dwell with thee and thy dear Son.
