Author: Nicolaus Selnecker, D. D.; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #230 (1908) Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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.
3 O Holy Ghost, who pourest
Sweet peace into my heart,
And all my soul restorest,
Thy comfort ne'er depart:
Let me His name confessing
Whom I in faith have known,
Receive Thy constant blessing,
And be in death Thine own. Topics: The Catechism Confirmation; Fourth Sunday after Easter Languages: English Tune Title: COMMIT THY WAY (Befiehl du deine Wege)
Let me be Thine for ever
