Text: | O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee! |
Tune: | GRANT US THY MERCY, FAITHFUL GOD |
Composer: | B. Waldis |
1 O 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,
Since Thou dost 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!
