O God, by Your name You have saved me
By Your gift You have justified
You have listened to the words of my prayer
For friends have risen up like strangers
And tyrants have tried to silence life
While trying to exalt their seats
Always You are my Comforter
With those who stand against strife
You repay those at enmity with offers of grace
Offering them the truth, the life, and the way
Freely have I accepted Your sacrifice
And praise the goodness of Your name
For You have brought me through troubles
And my eyes have seen the desires of Your heart
In the goodness of the love in Your Spirit
