1 My Maker, now be nigh
The light of life to give,
And guide me with your eye
While here on earth I live.
To you my heart I tender
And all my pow'rs surrender;
Make it my one endeavor
To love and serve you ever.
Upon your promise I rely;
My Maker, now be nigh.

2 My Savior, wash me clean
With your most precious blood,
That takes away all sin
And seals my peace with God.
My soul in peace abiding,
Within your deep wounds hiding,
I there find full salvation
And freedom from damnation.
Without you lost, defiled by sin,
My Savior, wash me clean.

3 My Comforter, give pow'r
That I may stand secure
When in temptation's hour
The world and sin allure.
The Son to me revealing,
Inspire my thought and feeling,
His Word of grace to ponder,
Nor let me from Him wander.
On me your gifts and graces show'r:
My Comforter, give pow'r!

4 O Holy Trinity,
To whom I all things owe,
Your image graciously
Within my heart bestow.
Choose me, though weak and lowly,
To be your temple holy
Where praise shall rise unending
For grace so condescending.
Oh, heav'nly bliss, your own to be,
O Holy Trinity!
