| Text: | O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee! |
| Author: | Selnecker |
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,
When Thou shalt call me to depart.
2 O 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 O 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!
