Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church ‎#20

20. Let me be Thine forever

1 Let me be Thine forever,
Thou faithful God and Lord;
Let me forsake Thee never
nor wander from Thy Word.
Lord, do not let me waver,
but give me steadfastness,
and for such grace forever
Thy holy Name I'll bless.

2 Lord Jesus, my Salvation,
My Light, my Life divine,
My only Consolation,
O make me wholly Thine!
For Thou hast dearly bought me
With blood and bitter pain;
Let me, since Thou hast sought me,
Eternal life obtain.

3 And Thou, O Holy Spirit,
My Comforter and Guide,
Grant that in Jesus' merit
I always may confide,
Him to the end, confessing
Whom I have known by faith.
Give me Thy constant blessing,
And grant a Christian death.
