O Lamb of God, still keep me

James G. Deck (1842) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:12

Verse 1

O Lamb of God, still keep me Near to Thy wounded side! 'Tis only there in safety And peace I can abide. What foes and snares surround me, What doubts and fears within! The grace that sought and found me, Alone can keep me clean.

Verse 2

'Tis only in Thee hiding, I feel my life secure; Only in Thee abiding, The conflict can endure; Thine arm the vict'ry gaineth O'er ev'ry hateful foe; Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its care and woe.

Verse 3

Soon shall my eyes behold Thee With rapture, face to face; One half hath not been told me Of all Thy pow'r and grace: Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, The wonders of Thy love, Shall be the endless story Of all Thy saints above. Amen.
