Thou re­main­est, blest Re­deem­er,
Lord of peace and Lord of strife,
Jesus, Sav­ior, Lord for­ev­er,
Thou re­main­est, Christ, my life.

Refrain

Thou re­main­est, Thou re­main­est,
Thou re­main­est, Christ, my all;
Peace or con­flict, joy or sor­row,
Thou re­main­est, Christ, my all.

Satisfying ev­ery long­ing,
Of my sin­ful soul for grace;
From my weak­ness ne­ver turn­ing,
Thou re­main­est, Christ, my peace.

Refrain

One by one my loved ones leave me,
Voices sweet no more be heard;
But of God naught can be­reave me,
Thou re­main­est, Christ, my Lord.

Refrain

When from earth, Thou, Lord, shalt call me,
Calm I’ll lay my bur­den down;
For I know, what­e’er be­fall me,
Thou re­main­est, Christ, my crown.
