For Jesus Christ and his mortal wound
Let thousands more resound.

I only have your great might,
To strengthen me to carry on:
Your Salvation

My conquest and my song
Blessed are those whose guilt you’ve absolved
Their sins and their falsehood/lies
Through giving them strength for the sake of
Flesh and the world to
To last right to the end of life / eternally
Life of the dead, come amongst us
And through your spirit blow on us;
Breathe your strength on the glen/valley,
So that these bones will live.
