Lyrics

As the bride­groom to his chos­en,
As the king un­to his realm,
As keep un­to the cas­tle,
As the pi­lot to the helm,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

As the fount­ain in the gar­den,
As the can­dle in the dark,
As the trea­sure in the cof­fer,
As the man­na in the ark,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

As the ru­by in the set­ting,
As the ho­ney in the comb,
As the light with­in the lan­tern,
As the fa­ther in the home,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.

As the sun­shine in the hea­vens,
As the im­age in the glass,
As the fruits up­on the fig tree,
As the dew up­on the grass,
So, Lord, art Thou to me.
