My God, to Thee I now commend

Author: Philip Friedrich Hiller; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 My God, to Thee I now commend My soul, for Thou, O Lord, Dost live and love me without end, And wilt perform Thy word. 2 To whom else should I make my plea, That heavenly life be mine? All souls, my God, belong to Thee, My soul is also Thine. 3 Thou gav'st my spirit at my birth, Take back what Thou hast given; And with the Lord I served on earth, Grant me to live in heaven. 4 Faith spreads her wings, she sees revealed The shining wall above; My spirit knows that it is sealed, Redeemed from death by love. 5 Thou my Redeemer wast of yore, From sin Thou mad'st me free; Now, faithful God, dost Thou once more In death deliver me. 6 Thou liv'st and lovest without end, And dost perform Thy Word; My passing soul I now commend To Thee, my God and Lord!
