In Thee alone, O Christ, my Lord,
My hope on earth remaineth;
I know Thou wilt Thine aid afford,
Naught else my soul sustaineth.
No strength of man, no earthly stay,
Can help me in the evil day;
Thou, only Thou, canst aid supply.
To Thee I cry;
On Thee I bid my heart rely.My sins, O Lord, against me rise,
I mourn them with contrition;
Grant, thro� Thy death and sacrifice,
To me a full remission.
Lord, show before the Father�s throne
That Thou didst for my sins atone;
So shall I from my load be freed.
Thy Word I plead;
Keep me, O Lord, each hour of need.
O Lord, in mercy stay my heart
On faith�s most sure foundation
And to my inmost soul impart
Thy perfect consolation.
Fill all my life with love to Thee,
T�ward all men grant me charity;
And at the last, when comes my end,
Thy succor send.
From Satan�s wiles my soul defend. |
