Let me be Thine forever

Nicolaus Selneccer (1572) • Matthias Loy (1880) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119:10

Verse 1

Let me be yours forever, my faithful God and Lord; let me forsake you never nor wander from your Word. Lord, do not let me waver but give me steadfastness, and for such grace and favor your holy name I'll bless.

Verse 2

Lord Jesus, my salvation, my light, my life divine, my only consolation, to you I all resign, for you have dearly bought me with blood and bitter pain. Let me, since you have sought me, eternal life obtain.

Verse 3

O gracious Holy Spirit, my comforter and guide, grant that in Jesus' merit I always may confide, him to the end confessing whom I have known by faith. Give me your constant blessing and grant a Christian death.
