Lord, as Thou Wilt

Lord

as Thou wilt

deal Thou with me;

No oth­er wish I cher­ish;

In life and death I cling to Thee;

Oh

do not let me per­ish!

Let not Thy grace from me de­part

And grant an ev­er pa­tient heart

To bear what Thou dost send me.

Grant hon­or

truth

and pur­ity

And love Thy Word to pon­der;

From all false doc­trine keep me free

Bestow

both here and yon­der

What serves my ev­er­last­ing bliss;

Preserve me from un­right­eous­ness

Throughout my earth­ly jour­ney.

When

at Thy sum­mons

I must leave

This vale of sin and sad­ness

Give me Thy grace

Lord

not to grieve

But to de­part with glad­ness.

To Thee my spir­it I com­mend;

O Lord

grant me a bless­èd end

Through Je­sus Christ

my Sav­ior.
