O Lamb of God, still keep me

O Lamb of God, still keep me Close to Thy wounded side; ’Tis only there in safety And peace I can abide. |

What foes and snares surround me, What lusts and fears within; The grace that sought and found me Alone can keep me clean. |
|

|
’Tis only in Thee hiding I feel myself secure; Only in Thee abiding, The conflict can endure; |
|
4
|
Thine arm the victory gaineth O’er every hateful foe; Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its care and woe. |
|
5
|
Soon shall my eyes behold Thee, With rapture face to face; One half hath not been told me Of all Thy power and grace; |
|

|
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, The wonders of Thy love, Shall be the endless story Of all Thy saints above. |

The tune St. Christopher also works with this hymn by turning two verses into one verse.

There is a much better tune, and the ONLY one I've encountered in 50 years as an O&CM. It is WELSH and I don't have access to my Cymanfa Ganu hymnal but the «code» begins:

Another Welsh tune which suits the text quite well is PRYSGOL.

This hymn really ministered to me in a time of great sorrow.
