                 (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1941)



        1. Jesus, my Truth, my Way,
        My sure, unerring Light,
        On Thee my feeble soul I stay,
        Which Thou wilt lead aright.

        2. My Wisdom and my Guide,
        My Counselor Thou art;
        Oh, let me never leave Thy side
        Nor from Thy paths depart!

        3. Thou seest my feebleness;
        Jesus, be Thou my Power,
        My Help and Refuge in distress,
        My Fortress and my Tower.

        4. Give me to trust in Thee;
        Be Thou my sure Abode;
        My Horn and Rock and Buckler be,
        My Savior and my God.

        5. Myself I cannot save,
        Myself I cannot keep;
        But strength in Thee I surely have,
        Whose eyelids never sleep.

        6. My soul to Thee alone
        Now, therefore, I commend.
        Thou, Jesus, having loved Thine own,
        Wilt love me to the end.
