Dear Lord and gentle Savior,
Of you I think highly of;
Give me your grace and mercy,
And don't cease to give your love.

Countless as stars of heaven,
In my heart, there, joys you bring;
You want what is best for me,
Over me you are watching.

When my life is a burden,
With my crosses you help me,
Dear Lord and gentle Savior,
How I'm to live help me see.

Your love, dear Lord has no end,
You are my forever friend.
