Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 0 Lord, my God, I cry to Thee,
In my distress Thou helpest me;
To Thee myself I all commend,
O swiftly now Thine angel send,
To guide me home and cheer my heart,
Since Thou dost call me to depart.
2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load,
Now let Thy cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me,
Thy death to open heav'n, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend;
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life. Topics: Twenty First Sunday after Trinity; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE
