LyicsTHINE forever-God of love,
Hear us from thy throne above-
Thine forever may we be,
Here and in eternity.
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.
Thine forever-Saviour keep
These thy frail and trembling sheep;
Safe alone beneath thy care,
Let us all thy goodness share.
Thine forever-thou our Guide,
All our wants by thee supplied,
All our sins by thee forgiven,
Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.
