Author: Mary F. Maude, 1819-1913 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #453 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Thine for ever! God of love,
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine for ever may we be,
Here and in eternity.
2 Thine for ever! Lord of life,
Shield us through our earthly strife;
Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.
3 Thine for ever! O how blest
They who find in Thee their rest!
Saviour, Guardian, Heavenly Friend,
O defend us to the end!
4 Thine for ever! Shepherd keep
These, Thy frail and trembling sheep;
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let us all Thy goodness share.
5 Thine for ever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiven,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven. Topics: Covenant, baptismal; Covenant, baptismal; The Christian Life Aspiration and Prayer; God Refuge, our ; Refuge God, our Languages: English Tune Title: NEWINGTON
