1 Lord Jesus Christ,
My Savior blest,
My Hope and my salvation!
I trust in Thee;
Deliver me
From misery;
Thy word's my consolation.
2 As Thou dost will,
Lead Thou me still
That I may truly serve Thee,
My God, I pray,
Teach me Thy way,
To my last day
In Thy true faith preserve me.
3 Most heartily
I trust in Thee,
Thy mercy fails me never;
Dear Lord, abide
My helper tried,
Thou Crucified,
From evil keep me ever.
4 Now henceforth must
I put my trust
In Thee, O dearest Savior;
Thy comfort choice,
Thy word and voice,
My heart rejoice,
Despite my ill behavior.
5 When sorrows rise,
My refuge lies
In Thy compassion tender;
Within Thine arm
Can naught alarm;
Keep me from harm,
Be Thou my strong defender.
6 I have Thy word,
Christ Jesus, Lord;
Thou never wilt forsake me;
This will I plead
In time of need;
O help with speed
When troubles overtake me!
7 Grant, Lord, we pray,
Thy grace each day,
That we, Thy law revering,
May live with Thee,
And happy be
Eternally,
Before Thy throne appearing.
