218. Lord Jesus Christ, My Saviour blest

1 Lord Jesus Christ,
My Saviour 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 Saviour;
Thy comfort choice,
Thy word and voice,
My heart rejoice,
Despite my ill behaviour.

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;
Oh, help me 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.
