Lord Jesus Christ, My Life, My Light (EN 4013)

EN 4013 Lord Jesus Christ, My Life, My Light

Luke.23.33

Versi Version 1

1

Lord Jesus Christ, my Life, my Light,

My Strength by day, my Trust by night,

On earth I’m but a passing guest

And sorely with my sins oppressed.

2

Far off I see my Fatherland,

Where through Thy blood I hope to stand.

But ere I reach that paradise,

A weary way before me lies.

3

My heart sinks at the journey’s length,

My wasted flesh and little strength;

My soul alone still cries in me:

“Lord, take me home, take me to Thee!”

4

Oh, let Thy sufferings give me power

To meet the last and darkest hour!

Thy blood refresh and comfort me;

Thy bonds and fetters make me free.

5

Oh, let Thy holy wounds for me

Clefts in the rock forever be

Where as a dove my soul can hide

And safe from Satan’s rage abide.

6

And when my spirit flies away,

Thy dying words shall be my stay.

Thy cross shall be my staff in life,

Thy holy grave my rest from strife.

7

Lord, in Thy nail prints let me read

That Thou to save me hast decreed

And grant that in Thine opened side

My troubled soul may ever hide.

8

Since Thou hast died, the Pure, the Just,

I take my homeward way in trust.

The gates of Heav’n, Lord, open wide

When here I may no more abide.

9

And when the last great day shall come

And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom,

Let me with joy behold the light

And set me then upon Thy right.

10

Renew this wasted flesh of mine

That like the sun it there may shine

Among the angels pure and bright,

Yea, like Thyself in glorious light.

11

Ah, then I’ll have my heart’s desire,

When, singing with the angels’ choir,

Among the ransomed of Thy grace,

Forever I’ll behold Thy face!
