1 0 Lord my God, I cry to Thee,
In my distress Thou helpest me.
My soul and body I commend
Into Thy hands; Thine angel send
To guide me home, and cheer my heart,
Since Thou dost call me to depart.
2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load,
Now let Thy cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me;
Thy death to open heaven, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend,
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life.
