Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915; NiKolaus Selnecker, 1532-1592 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #490 (1978) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Pentecost 5 (Year A) Lyrics: 1 Let me be yours forever,
My gracious God and Lord;
May I forsake you never
Nor wander from your Word.
Preserve me from the mazes
Of error and distrust,
And I shall sing your praises
Forever with the just.
2 Lord Jesus, bounteous giver
Of light and life divine,
You did my soul deliver;
To you I all resign.
You have in mercy bought me
With blood and bitter pain;
Let me, since you have sought me,
Eternal life obtain.
3 O Holy Spirit, pouring
Sweet peace into my heart,
And all my soul restoring,
Let me in grace depart.
And while his name confessing
Whom I by faith have known,
Grant me your constant blessing
And take me as your own.
