O Lord let me find mercy In bonds and prison bed Men would seek to devour me With guile and controversy Save me from danger dread! Thou wilt never forsake me This firmly I believe Thy blood Thou hast shed freely And with it washed me. Therein my trust is resting In Christ, God's only Son On him I am now building In tribulation trusting God will me not disown! To die and to be living Until my end I see To Thee my trust I'm giving Thou wilt my helper be Soul, body, child companion Herewith commit I Thee Come soon, Lord, come and take me From ruthless men do save me Be honour ever to Thee. Amen.
