Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior Blest

Ps.119.170

Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior blest,

My Hope and my Salvation!

I trust in Thee; deliver me from misery;

Thy Word’s my consolation.

As Thou dost will, lead Thou me still

That I may truly serve Thee,

My God, I pray, teach me Thy way to my last day

In Thy true faith preserve me.

Most heartily I trust in Thee;

Thy mercy fails me never.

Dear Lord, abide; my Helper tried, Thou Crucified,

From evil keep me ever.

Now henceforth must I put my trust

In Thee, O dearest Savior.

Thy comfort choice, Thy Word and voice, my heart rejoice

Despite my ill behavior.

When sorrows rise, my refuge lies

In Thy compassion tender.

Within Thine arm can naught alarm; keep me from harm,

Be Thou my strong Defender.

I have Thy Word, Christ Jesus, Lord;

Thou never wilt forsake me.

This will I plead in time of need. Oh, help with speed

When troubles overtake me!

Grant, Lord, I pray, Thy grace each day

That I, Thy Law revering,

May live with Thee and happy be eternally

Before Thy throne appearing.
