278 Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior blest,

1 Lord Jesus Christ, My Savior blest, My hope and my salvation! I trust in Thee, Deliver me From misery; Thy word's my consolation. 2 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. 3 Most heartily I trust in Thee, Thy mercy fails me never; Dear Lord, abide My helper tried, Thou Crucified, From evil keep me ever. 4 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. 5 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. 6 I have Thy word, Christ Jesus, Lord, Thou never wilt forsake me; This will I plead In time of need; O help with speed, When troubles overtake me! 7 Grant, Lord, we pray, Thy grace each day, That we, Thy law revering, May live with Thee, And happy be Eternally, Before Thy throne appearing.
