Christ, in Your Wounds Now Let Me Hide

 

Trinity 19

87 87 887

Tune: Herr, Wie Du Wilt (LSB 625)

 

1. Christ, in Your wounds now let me hide

Until this pain is over;

My sins, You know, I’ve not denied –

What I confess, now cover

With blood that speaks a better thing

Than what my troubled heart can bring,

Pardon for a poor sinner. 

 

2. Turn me away from me, my Lord –

Heal what Your Law has broken.

Give me the joy found in Your Word,

Which You in love have spoken

When You came down to bear my sin

By Your pure death new life to win

Giving hope in all trials.

 

3. Create in me a heart that’s clean

By faith in You, my Savior

Until my spirit’s eyes have seen

That You will leave me never,

Since in the water is Your voice,

Telling me, “Child, take heart, rejoice,

All your sins are forgiven.”

 

4. Then I will speak what makes me live,

Then I will not stop singing;

As long as You Your grace will give,

So long let me be bringing

All of the good that You have shared,

All of the works which You prepared

To serve You and my neighbor.
