Profeters ljus klart lyser här Och lUar mig att förstå Det tal om blodet, som rengör Och genom himlens port mig för, Som var med lagen stängd. 5 Ja, du min kyrka lär vet, Att Jesus Vägen är Och Sanning, Lif, Rättfärdighet – Du klartmig äfven lär, Att Jesus dog på korsets stam För mina synders skull, Och för det offer Han bar fram Är Gud mig evigt huld. 6 Och för din tro martyrers blod I strömmar fordom flöt, Ack, hjalp mig, Gud, med gladligt mod Bli stilla i ditt sköt', Om ock med blod det tarfvas än Af Jesu klena hjord Att vittna för bekännelsen Om Kristus och Hans ord. 7 Min kyrka med din tro, ditt namn Mig vare evigt kär! Ack, slut mig st¨ndigt i din famn Och jämt mig vandra lär Uppå min gode Herdes stig! Mitt löfte, bön, begär Är att ej skiljas ifrån dig – Där Gud mig nåd beskär.
