58 A Beautiful Confirmation Hymn
Nicolaus Selnecker, 1572, et al.
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. | 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. | O Holy Ghost, who pourest Sweet peace into my heart, And who my soul restorest, Let not Thy grace depart. And while His Name confessing Whom I by faith have known, Grant me Thy constant blessing, Make me for aye Thine own. | |
