Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a307 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When, O dear Jesus, when shall I
Behold Thee all serene?
Blest in perpetual holy day,
Without a veil between!
2 Assist me, while I wander here,
Amidst a world of cares;
Incline my heart to pray in love,
And then accept my prayers.
3 Release my soul from every chain,
No more hell's captive led;
And pardon Thy repenting child,
For whom the Savior bled.
4 Spare me, O God, O spare the soul,
That gives it self to Thee:
Take all that I possess below,
And give Thyself to me.
5 Thy Spirit, O my Father, give,
To be my guide and friend,
To light my way to ceaseless joys,
To rest without an end.
