1 O 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 vict’ry gaineth
O’er ev’ry hateful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its care and woe.
3 Soon shall my eyes behold Thee
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all Thy pow’r and grace:
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all Thy saints above.
Amen.
O Lamb Of God, Still Keep Me Lyrics
