   In deine Hand befehle ich

From a prayerbook

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Lang)

See original

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

 ... 

   Into Thy Hands I commit  ... 
My wellbeing and my life.
My hopeful eye gazes upon Thee:
To Thee I wish to yield myself.
Be Thou my God;
And then in death,
Be Thou the rock upon which I may base my trust,
Until I see Thy face.
