Lord And Savior, True And Kind

 

"The Lord is my Strength and my Shield; 
my heart trusts in Him and I am helped.
 Therefore my heart rejoices, and
 I give thanks to Him with my song.
Psalm 28:7

Calming Embrace

Yongsung Kim

Korean artist

Lord and Savior, true and kind

Be the Master of my mind;

Bless, and guide, and strengthen still

All my powers of thought and will.

While I ply the scholar's task,

Jesus Christ, be near, I ask:

Help the memory, clear the brain,

Knowledge still to seek and gain.

Here I train for life's swift race;

Let me do it in Thy grace;

Here I arm me for life's fight;

Let me do it in Thy might.

Thou hast made me mind and soul;

I for Thee would use the whole;

Thou hast died that I might live;

All my powers to Thee I give.

Striving, thinking, learning still,

Let me follow thus Thy will,

Till my whole glad nature be

Trained for duty and for Thee.
