Author: J. G. Deck Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #363a (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lamb of God, still keep me
Near to Thy woundèd side!
'Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide.
What foes and snares surround me!
What doubts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me
Alone can keep me clean.
2 'Tis only in Thee hiding,
I know my life secure;
Only in Thee abiding,
The conflict can endure:
Thine arm the victory gaineth
O'er every hateful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its care and woe.
3 Soon shall my eyes behold Thee,
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all Thy power and grace:
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all Thy saints above.
Amen. Topics: General; Lent; Parochial Missions Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, MAGISTER BONE
