Forsake me not, my God!
Uphold me in my going,
That evermore I may
Please Thee in all well-doing:
And that Thy will, O Lord,
May never be forgot
In all my works and ways:
My God, forsake me not!

Forsake me not, my God!
I would be Thine for ever:
Confirm me mightily

In every right endeavor:

And when my hour is come, Cleansed from all stain and spot Of sin, receive my soul:

My God, forsake me not!

8, 7. 4L.

German, 16th Century

A las, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth up-braid me;

And now I find that at my strait No man hath power to

aid me.

2 And fled I hence, in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me,

Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer.

My griefs would still be with me there, 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt,

Thy hand still hold and guide me.

3 Nay, Thee I seek;-I merit naught,

Yet pity and restore me;

Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me.

4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher;

Make Thou my patience firmer,
For they must miss the good Thou wilt,
Who at Thy teachings murmur.

6 Then deal with me as seems Thee best,
Thy grace will help me bear it,
If but at last I see Thy rest,
And with my Savior share it.
J. Gross, 1613

2 Then this our comfort is alone,

That we may meet before Thy throne,
And cry, O faithful God, to Thee
For rescue from our misery:

3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes,
Repenting sore with bitter sighs,
And seek Thy pardon for our sin,
And respite from our griefs within.

4 For Thou hast promised graciously
To hear all those who cry to Thee,
Through Him whose name alone is great,
Our Savior and our advocate.

5 And thus we come, O God, today,
And all our woes before Thee lay;
For tried, afflicted, lo! we stand,
Peril and foes on every hand.

6 Ah, hide not for our sins Thy face;
Absolve us through Thy boundless grace;
Be with us in our anguish still,
Free us at last from every ill.

7 That so with all our hearts we may
Once more our glad thanksgiving pay,
And walk obedient to Thy word,
And now and ever praise Thee, Lord.
