Author: Kaspar Bienemann; Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me; No other wish I cherish. In life and death I cling to Thee; Oh, do not let me perish! Let not Thy grace from me depart And grant an ever patient heart To bear what Thou dost send me. 2 Grant honor, truth, and purity, And love Thy Word to ponder; From all false doctrine keep me free. Bestow, both here and yonder, What serves my everlasting bliss; Preserve me from unrighteousness Thro'out my earthly journey. 3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave This vale of sin and sadness, Give me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve, But to depart with gladness. To Thee my spirit I commend; O Lord, grant me a blessed end Thro' Jesus Christ, my Savior. Amen.

When my last hour is close at hand

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, And I must hence betake me, Do Thou, Lord Jesus, by me stand, Nor let Thine aid forsake me; To Thy blest hands I now commend My soul, at this my earthly end, And Thou wilt safely keep it. 2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore, My conscience cannot slumber; But I will cleave to Thee the more, Though they the sands outnumber; I will remember Thou didst die, Will think on Thy most bitter cry; Thy sufferings shall uphold me. 3 That was graft into the Vine, Hence will I comfort borrow; For Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear, and pain, and sorrow; Yea, though I die, I die to Thee: For Thou through death didst win for me The right to life eternal. 4 Since Thou didst leave the grave again, It cannot be my dwelling: Thou art in heaven, this soothes my pain, All fear of death dispelling; For Thou wilt have me where Thou art, And so with joy can I depart, To be with Thee forever. 5 To Thee I now stretch out mine arms, And gladly hence betake me; I sleep at peace from all alarms, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life, And open heaven before me.

Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Living Bread

Author: Johann Rist; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord Jesus Christ, Thou living bread, May I for mine possess Thee. I would with heav’nly food be fed; Descend, refresh, and bless me. Now make me meet for Thee, O Lord; Now, humbly by my heart implored, Grant me Thy grace and mercy. 2. Thou me to pastures green dost guide, To quiet waters lead me; Thy table Thou dost well provide And from Thy hand dost feed me. Sin, weakness, and infirmity Am I; O Savior, give to me The cup of Thy salvation. 3. O bread of Heav’n, my soul’s delight, For full and free remission With prayer I come before Thy sight, In sorrow and contrition. With faith adorn my soul that I May to Thy table now draw nigh With Thine own preparation. 4. I merit not Thy favor, Lord, Sin now upon me lieth; Beneath my burden, self-abhorred, To Thee my spirit crieth. In all my grief this comforts me, That Thou on sinners graciously, Lord Jesus, hast compassion. Used With Tune: HERR, WIE DU WILLST
