Tune: | STRASBURG (Herr, wie du willst, so schick's) |
1 Lord, as Thou wilt deal Thou with me,
No other wish I cherish;
In life and death I cling to Thee,
O Lord, let me not perish!
Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part,
Else as thou wilt, grant patient heart:
Thy will the best is ever.
2 Grant honor, truth, and self-control,
And love the Word to ponder;
From doctrines false preserve my soul:
And grant both here and yonder
What will conduce to blessed days;
Keep far all wrong and crooked ways
From all my life and doings.
3 When I, according to Thy will,
Shall leave this vale of sadness,
O let Thy grace my bosom fill,
That I may go with gladness;
My spirit I commend to Thee,
O Lord, a blessed end give me
Through Jesus Christ! Yea, Amen.
