- 1O Lamb of God, still keep me
- Near to Thy wounded 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 feel 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.
- 3Soon 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.
