Hymns of the Lutheran Church

350 In God, my Savior, I put my trust alone;

1 In God, my Savior, I put my trust alone; His word and favor My help in need I own; My life I tender, And all I have as well, In full surrender To Thee, whose grace I tell, My soul's befriender, My God, Immanuel. 2 The loss sin wrought me, Through Satan's wiles, O Lord, Thou, who hast bought me, Hast all by grace restored: My thanks I render, Myself to Thee I yield, My Savior tender, My rock, my sun and shield, My soul's defender, On Thee my hopes I build. 3 Keep me Thy servant, Let me obey Thee, Lord, In spirit fervent, According to Thy word; When doth forsake me The frowning world for aye, And sufferings shake me, Grant patience, be my stay, Until Thou take me From this ill world away. 4 My consolation Thou art in every need, For my salvation Thou on the cross didst bleed; In heaven dwelling, I shall, when past all pain, Thy praise be telling, O Lamb for sinners slain! When anthems swelling, I sing the angels' strain. 5 O faithful Savior, My sweetest rest and stay! O let me never From Thee in darkness stray! My soul deliver, And guide Thy weary dove, By grace and favor, Home to the place I love My home forever Jerusalem above! 6 There, past life's sadness, 'Tis good to be at rest, In joy and gladness, With saints forever blest; Lord, let me ever Walk in Thy faith and fear, That, past death's river, It may Thy welcome hear: "Come, blest forever, Come in, my servant dear!"
