5 Ah, look on me with pity 6 And bid Thy Word within me
Though I am weak and poor; Shine as the fairest star;
Admit me to Thy kingdom Keep sin and all false doctrine
To dwell there, blest and sure. Forever from me far.
I pray Thee, guide and keep me Help me confess Thee truly
Safe from my bitter foes, And with Thy Christendom
From sin and death and Satan; Here own Thee King and Savior
Free me from all my woes. And in the world to come.
