O God, Preserve Me

1. O God, preserve me, for in you
Alone my trust has stood;
My soul has said, you are my Lord.
My chief and only good.
I love your saints, who fear your Name
And walk as in your sight;
They are the excellent of Earth,
In them is my delight.

2. The Lord is my inheritance,
The Lord alone remains
The fulness of my cup of bliss;
The Lord my lot maintains.
The lines are fallen unto me
In places large and fair;
A goodly heritage is mine,
Marked out with gracious care.

3. When in the night I meditate
On mercies multiplied,
My grateful heart inspires my tongue
To bless the Lord, my Guide.
Forever in my tho't, the Lord
Before my face shall stand;
Secure, unmoved, I shall remain,
With him at my right hand.

4. I know that I shall not be cast out,
Forgotten in the grave,
And from corruption, O my Lord,
Your holy one will save.
The path of life you've shown to me
Of joy, a boundless store
Is ever found at your right hand,
And pleasures evermore.
