Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church ‎#27

27. Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me

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, propriety,
And love Thy Word to ponder;
False doctrines, Lord, keep far from me,
And grant both here and yonder
What serves my everlasting bliss;
Preserve me from unrighteousness
In all my life and doings.

3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave
This world of sin and sadness,
Grant me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve,
But to depart with gladness;
My spirit I commend to Thee,
O Lord, a blessed end give me
Through Jesus Christ! Yea, Amen.
