Author: M. F. Maude, 1819-1913 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #515 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Thine forever, God of Love!
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine forever may we be
Here and in eternity!
2 Thine forever! O how blest
They who find in Thee their rest!
Savior, Guardian, heav'nly Friend,
O defend us to the end.
3 Thine forever, Lord of Life!
Shield us through our earthly strife.
Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.
4 Thine forever! Shepherd, keep
These Thy frail and trembling sheep
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let us all Thy goodness share.
5 Thine forever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiv'n;
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heav'n.
