Let Me Be Thine Forever

lyricist: Nikolaus Selnecker, 1572, et al
Composer: Nuremberg, Germany: 1532

Let me be Thine for­ev­er

Thou faith­ful God and Lord;

Let me forsake Thee nev­er

Nor wan­der from Thy Word.

Lord

do not let me waver

But give me stead­fast­ness

And for such grace for­ev­er

Thy ho­ly name I’ll bless.

Lord Je­sus

my sal­va­tion

My light

my life di­vine

My only consolation

Oh

make me whol­ly Thine!

For Thou hast dearly bought me

With blood and bit­ter pain.

Let me

since Thou hast sought me

Eter­nal life ob­tain.

And Thou

O Ho­ly Spir­it

My com­fort­er and guide

Grant that in Je­sus’ mer­it

I al­ways may con­fide

Him to the end con­fess­ing

Whom I have known by faith.

Give me Thy con­stant bless­ing

And grant a Christ­ian death.
