Tune:VERDUN (Lutzen)

4. Thine for ever! God of love

Thine for ever! God of love,
Hear us from Thy throne above;
Thine forever maw we be
Here and in eternity.

Thine for ever! Lord of life,
Shield us through our earthly strife;
Keep us in the righteous way,
Bring us to the realms of day.

Thine for ever! Father, keep
Us Thy frail and trembling sheep;
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let us all Thy goodness share.

Thine for ever! oh, how blest
They who find in Thee their rest!
Saviour, Guardian, Heavenly Friend,
Guide, defend us, to the end.

Thine for ever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiven,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.
