Laudes Domini ‎#116

116. "Forsake me not"

1 Forsake me not! O thou, my Lord, my Light!
I lift mine eyes unto thy holy height,
And trust thee with a child's sweet trust--untaught:
Forsake me not!

2 Forsake me not! By sorrow oft depressed,
On thee alone, Almighty Power, I rest!
Strength faileth me; be thou my strength--Christ-bought:
Forsake me not!

3 Forsake me not! Help me to know thy way!
Let me at last, at closing of my day,
Into the light of thy dear face be brought!
Forsake me not!
