1 My God, to Thee I now commend
My soul; for Thou, O Lord,
Dost live and love me without end,
And wilt perform Thy word.

2 To whom else should I make my plea,
That heavenly life be mine?
All souls, my God, belong to Thee;
My soul is also Thine.

3 Thou gavest my spirit at my birth;
Take back what Thou hast given;
And with the Lord I served on earth,
Grant me to live in heaven.

4 My soul is sprinkled with the Blood
Thy Son hath shed for us,
And in Thy sight is pure and good,
Adorned and radiant thus.

5 Thou my Deliverer wast of yore;
From sin Thou mad'st me free:
Now, faithful God, do Thou, once more
In death deliver me.

6 Thou livest and lovest without end,
And dost perform Thy word:
My parting soul I now commend
To Thee, my God and Lord!
