Page 24 - English Hymn Book 2018

The Lord is thy great keeper,
The Lord is thy shade upon thy mighty right hand;
The sun will give you not at all in daytime,
Nor will the moon at night time.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil;
He shall preserve thy spirit;
The Lord shall preserve thy coming also thy going,
This time forth, and evermore, amen.
34. MY LOVE FOR YOU, OH, LORD
······························
A MARTE, OH, JESUS
Ps 145.20 CONSECRATION/ 2 Tim 1.9 CALLING
My love for you, oh, Lord, is reassuring,
Your calling will forever be remembered;
You have promised to engrave upon my feelings,
And sculpt upon my soul your dearest name.
CHORUS
That's why in every step I follow you Lord,
That's why I always long to walk beside you;
If I neglect or forsake your precious blessings,
How bitter life would be in my digression.
2
You have promised me, oh, Lord, on this humble palm
Sacred blessings from your kind and caring Hand;
And you'll write all our names through the ages
In the Hand of your eternal loving name.
3
I am yours, and only yours, my dear Lord Jesus,
You have promised to give me eternal life;
In the meantime while your Holy Spirit guides me,
My life will be rejoicing, my dear Lord.
