Shield Me, O Lord

Let my life be not in vain,

Let me go not asunder.

But shield me, O Lord, from the rain,

And from the roaring thunder.

Shield me from a sinful life

And from an evil host.

And Shelter me, O Lord, Jesus Christ,

To the uttermost.

Shield me in Your loving grace,

Shield me from all wrong,

And take me to that hiding place

Which covers me all day long.

Shield my heart and my mind,

Shield this mortal flesh,

And let my light forever shine.

My soul eternal blessed.

Shield me in Your loving wings,

Into Your holy hands,

That I may always joyfully sing,

To You, the God of Abraham.
