Full Text

1 O Lamb of God, still keep me Near to Thy wound'd side! 'Tis only there in safety And peace I can abide. What foes and snares surround me! What doubts and fears within! The grace that sought and found me Alone can keep me clean. 2 'Tis only in Thee hiding, I know my life secure; Only in Thee abiding, The conflict can endure: Thine arm the victory gaineth O'er every hateful foe; Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its care and woe. 3 Soon shall my eyes behold Thee, With rapture, face to face; One half hath not been told me Of all Thy power and grace: Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, The wonders of Thy love, Shall be the endless story Of all Thy saints above. Amen.
