Text

Thanks be to thee my Lord Jesus Christ,
For all the benefits thou hast won for us,
For all the pains and insults thou hast borne for us.
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
May we know thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
And follow thee more nearly,
And all for thy name's sake.
