Tune: | COMMIT THY WAY |
1 Let me be Thine forever,
My gracious God and Lord;
May I forsake Thee never,
Nor wander from Thy Word:
Preserve me from the mazes
Of error and distrust,
And I shall sing Thy praises
Forever with the just.
2 Lord Jesus, bounteous Giver
Of light and life divine,
Thou didst my soul deliver;
To Thee I all resign.
Thou hast in mercy bought me
With blood and bitter pain;
Let me, since Thou hast sought me,
Eternal life obtain.
3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest
Sweet peace into my heart,
And all my soul restorest,
Thy comfort ne'er depart.
Let me, His name confessing,
Whom I by faith have known,
Receive Thy constant blessing
And be in death Thine own.
