I strengthen thee, I also help thee, I uphold thee, yea, through the right hand of mine own righteousness. Fear have thou none, for I have now thee delivered, I have thee by thy name now called and summoned, thou art mine! Shepherd, Lord, fount of all pleasure, Thou art mine, I am thine, No one can divide us. I am thine, for thou thy life didst And thy blood for my good Unto death surrendered. Thou art mine, for I shall clasp thee And shall not, O my light, From my heart release thee. Let me, let me hither journey Where thou me and I thee Fondly be embracing.
