"Thine Forever, God of Love" by Mary F. Maude, 1819-1913 Text From: THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941) 1. Thine forever, God of Love! Hear us from Thy throne above; Thine forever may we be Here and in eternity! 2. Thine forever! Oh, how blest They who find in Thee their rest! Savior, Guardian, heavenly Friend, Oh, defend us to the end! 3. Thine forever, Lord of Life! Shield us through our earthly strife. Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Guide us to the realms of day. 4. Thine forever! Shepherd, keep These Thy frail and trembling sheep Safe alone beneath Thy care, Let us all Thy goodness share. 5. Thine forever! Thou our Guide, All our wants by Thee supplied, All our sins by Thee forgiven; Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.This text was converted to ascii format for Project Wittenberg by Debbie Harris and is in the public domain.
