KJV Text (alt. audio): Chapter 12:

     1 And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. 2 Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. 3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.

     4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. 5 Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. 6 Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.(KJV)

1. Lord Jesus, Thou the Church’s Head, 
Thou art her one Foundation; 
In Thee she trusts, before Thee bows, 
And waits for Thy salvation. 
Built on this Rock secure, 
Thy Church shall endure 
E’en though the world decay 
And all things pass away. 
Oh, hear, oh, hear us, Jesus! 

2. O Lord, let this Thy little flock, 
Thy name alone confessing, 
Continue in Thy loving care, 
True unity possessing. 
Thy Sacraments, O Lord, 
And Thy saving Word 
To us e’er pure retain. 
Grant that they may remain 
Our only strength and comfort. 

3. Help us to serve Thee evermore 
With hearts both pure and lowly; 
And my Thy Word, that light divine, 
Shine on in splendor holy 
That we repentance show, 
In faith ever grow; 
The power of sin destroy 
And all that doth annoy. 
Oh, make us faithful Christians! 

4. And for Thy Gospel let us dare 
To sacrifice all treasure; 
Teach us to bear Thy blessed cross, 
To find in Thee all pleasure. 
Oh, grant us steadfastness 
In joy and distress, 
That we Thee ne’er forsake. 
Let us by grace partake 
O endless joy and glory.
