Protect Me, Lord, When Sins Abound

Protect me, Lord, when sins abound

And from life’s harm, O shelter me.

I know that I may never see

The day you bring all evil down.

REFRAIN

GLORY, GLORY, GLORY BE!

GLORY, GLORY BE TO YOU, O GOD..

When evil comes to strike me down

And tries to woo me from your side

Then your strong Word will there resound

With all that will my fears subside.

REFRAIN

So in distress, Lord, quiet me

Give patience while I on you wait

Salvation is a surety.

You have removed   guilt’s heavy weight.

REFRAIN

You sent your Son here to atone

For all my sins of every kind

Help me to trust in you alone

And quiet peace in you to find.

REFRAIN

Lord, all your saints have shown the way

To strong and trusting faith in you.

You held them up in their dismay

And gave to them the heavenly view

REFRAIN

Lord, send to me your precious love

Like saints of old, O shelter me

Send down your mercy from above.

O let it flow unceasingly.

REFRAIN
