God who madest earth and heaven

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Protection, prayed for Lyrics: 1 God who madest earth and heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon and starry host, Thou whose mighty hand sustains Earth and all that she contains: 2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render, Who this night hast guarded me, My omnipotent defender, Who from ill dost set me free,-- Free from danger, anguish, woe, Free from the infernal foe. 3 Let the night of my transgression With night's darkness pass away. Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself to-day; In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Grant that I may rise this morning From the lethargy of sin; Thus my soul, through Thine adorning, Shall be glorious within, And when breaks Thy judgment day I shall not be cast away. 5 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word. Lord, Thy constant preservation To Thy erring child afford; Nowhere but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 6 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind. Mighty God, to Thy direction May I ever be resigned. Lord, my shield, my light divine, O accept, and own me Thine. 7 Lord, to me Thine angel sending, Keep me from the subtle foe; From his craft and might defending, Never let Thy pilgrim go, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.

Lass ruhn zu deinen Füßen dein schwaches Kind; es will die Augen schließen und folgen blind. 3 Wenn ich auch gar nichts fühle von deiner Macht, du bringst mich doch zum Ziele auch durch die Nacht. So minn denn meine Hände und führe mich bis an mein selig Ende und ewiglich! 1 Take thou my hand and lead me; stay by my side til in thy joy eternal I may abide. Alone I will not wander one single day. Be thou my true companion and with me stay. 2 O cover with thy mercy my poor, weak heart! Let ev’ry thought rebellious from me depart. Permit thy child to linger here at thy feet, and fully trust thy goodness with faith complete. 3 Though naught of thy great power may move my soul, with thee through night and darkness I reach the goal. Take, then, my hand and lead me, stay by my side, and in thy joy eternal I shall abide.
