L.M. [311]Eisenach: Johann Hermann Schein, 1628; adapt., harm., Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Reginald Heber, 1827; Published after his death. O Thou, who gav'st thy servant grace On thee the living Rock to rest, To look on thine unveilèd face, And lean on thy protecting breast; Grant us, O King of mercy, still To feel thy presence from above, And in thy word and in thy will To hear thy voice and know thy love; And when the toils of life are done, And nature waits thy just decree, To find our rest beneath thy throne, And look in certain hope to thee. To thee, O Jesus, Light of Light, Whom as their King the saints adore, Thou strength and refuge in the fight, Be laud and glory evermore. Amen. |
