O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
Among Your seed, your chosen host.
Buried with Christ and dead to sin,
I have your Spirit now within.
2 My loving Father, here you take me
Henceforth to be your child and heir;
My faithful Savior, here you make me
The fruit of all your sorrows share;
O Holy Ghost, you comfort me
Though threat'ning clouds around I see.
3 O faithful God, you never fail me:
Your cov'nant surely will abide.
Let not eternal death assail me
Should I transgress it on my side!
Have mercy when I come defiled;
Forgive, lift up, restore your child.
4 All that I am and love most dearly,
Receive it all, O Lord, from me.
Oh, let me make my vows sincerely,
And help me your own child to be!
Let nothing that I am or own
Serve any will but yours alone. Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEN ZUNGEN HÄTTE
