lyrics

Help me, O Lord, my strength and rock;
Lo, at the door I hear death’s knock.
Uplift thine arm once pierced for me,
That conquered death and set me free.

Yet, if thy voice in life’s midday
Recalls my soul, then I obey.
In faith and hope, earth I resign.
Secure of heaven, for I am thine.

I am thine, O I am thine;
What sweet comfort, I am thine.
I am held by a hand both strong and kind.
What sweet comfort, I am thine.

My pains increase, haste to console;
For fear and woe seize body and soul.
Death is at hand, my senses fail.
My tongue is dumb; now, Christ, prevail.

Lo! Satan strains to snatch his prey;
I feel his grasp; must I give way?
He harms me not, I fear no loss,
For here I lie, beneath thy cross.
(Chorus)

My God! My Lord! Healed by thy hand.
Upon the earth once more I stand.
Let sin no more rule over me;
My mouth shall sing alone to thee.

Though now delayed, my hour will come.
Involved, perchance, in deeper gloom.
But, let it come; with joy I’ll rise,
And bear my yoke straight to the skies.

I am thine, O I am thine.
What sweet comfort, I am thine.
I am held by a hand both strong and kind.
What sweet comfort, I am thine.
O what sweet comfort, I am thine.
Forever comfort, I am thine.
