American Lutheran Hymnal ‎#546

546. Thine Forever! God Of Love

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

2 Thine forever! Lord of life,
Shield us thro' our earthly strife;
Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Guide us to the realms of day.

3 Thine forever! O how blest
They who find in Thee their rest;
Savior, Guardian, heav'nly Friend,
O defend us to the end!

4 Thine forever! Savior, keep
These Thy frail and trembling sheep;
Safe alone beneath Thy care,
Let us all Thy goodness share.

5 Thine forever! Thou our Guide,
All our wants by Thee supplied,
All our sins by Thee forgiv'n,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heav'n.

Amen.
