585 O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee!

1 O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee! In my distress Thou helpest me. To Thee myself I now commend: O swiftly now Thine angel send To guide me home and cheer my heart, Since Thou dost call me to depart. 2 O Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God, Once slain to take away our load; Now let Thy cross, Thine agony, Avail to save and solace me; Thy death to open heaven, and there Bid me the joy of angels share. 3 O Holy Spirit, at the end, Sweet Comforter, be Thou my friend; When death and hell assail me sore, Leave me, O leave me nevermore, But bear me safely through the strife, As Thou hast promised, into life!
