Author: L. Maltesen Meter: 6.6.11.6.6.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, in mercy mild, Preserve me as Thy child, And be to me a Father and Defender; Teach me, when shadows fall, Upon Thy name to call And lift my hands to Thee for mercy tender. 2 Teach me with joy to hail The hope that can not fail, Which Thou didst give to me in life's bright morning; Teach me in life and death With care to keep the faith, And follow Thee with love and ardor burning. 3 Teach me like birds to sing The songs that hope will bring To him who toils as well as to the rover; Teach me in darkest night As birds to make my flight To Thee who with Thy pinions me wilt cover. 4 Teach me, when clouded skies Do veil my spirit's eyes And foes attack and thorns and thistles tear me, To trust in Thee, O God, Who guidest with Thy rod, Until the light breaks thro' the clouds that scare me. 5 Teach me some day to die, As seeds that sprouting lie, With hope for life beyond death's gloomy portal, Where I shall meet with friends, Whom Jesus Christ attends, In Paradise among the saints immortal.
