Text:Thine for ever! God of love
Author:Mary F. Maude

316. Thine for ever! God of love

1 Thine for ever! God of love,
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine for ever may we be
Here and in eternity.

2 Thine for ever! 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 for ever! O how blest
They who find in Thee their rest!
Saviour, Guardian, heavenly Friend,
O defend us to the end!

4 Thine for ever! Saviour, keep
These Thy frail and trembling sheep,
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let them all Thy goodness share.

5 Thine for ever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiven,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.

Amen.
