Keep Me, O God of Grace

Verse 1

Keep me, O God of grace; from ill defend me; my trust in thee I place; do thou befriend me; thou art the Lord most high; save thee no good have I; when sorrows multiply, thy peace attend me.

Verse 2

My goodly heritage thou, Lord, maintainest; from childhood unto age my lot maintainest; thy wisdom doth impart instruction to my heart; thou who almighty art, to guide me deignest.

Verse 3

By thee my soul is blest with joy o'erflowing; in confidence I rest, thy mercy knowing; Lord, from the silent grace thou wilt thy servant save, that life for which I crave at last bestowing.
