Text: | Thine forever! God of Love |
Author: | Mary Fawler Maude (Hooper) |
Tune: | MERCY |
Composer: | Louis M. Gottschalk |
1 Thine forever! God of love,
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine forever may we be
Here and in eternity.
2 Thine forever! Lord of life,
Shield us through our earthly strife;
Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.
3 Thine forever! O how blest
They who find in Thee their rest!
Saviour, Guardian, heavenly Friend,
O defend us to the end.
4 Thine forever! Shepherd, keep
These, Thy frail and trembling sheep,
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let us all Thy goodness share.
5 Thine forever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiven,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.
Amen.
