435. Let me be Thine forever

1 Let me be Thine forever,
My gracious God and Lord,
May I forsake Thee never,
Nor wander from Thy Word:
Preserve me from the mazes
Of error and distrust,
And I shall sing Thy praises
Forever with the just.

2 Lord Jesus! bounteous Giver
Of light and life divine,
Thou didst my soul deliver,
To Thee I all resign;
Thou hast in mercy bought me
With blood and bitter pain.
Let me, since Thou hast sought me,
Eternal life obtain.

3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest
Sweet peace into my heart,
And all my soul restorest,
Thy comfort ne'er depart:
Let me His name confessing
Whom I in faith have known,
Receive Thy constant blessing,
And be in death Thine own.

Amen.
