| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Lord, Thou Great Jehovah | | By Albert Frank Hoffmann |
| | | CREATOR, Author of all things! | |
| Thou who didst give to me | |
| My being, hear me while I pray: | |
| From evil set me free— | |
| Give, O give me peace within, | 5 |
| Tho’ unworthy I have been; | |
| Help me conquer death and sin— | |
| Lord, Thou great Jehovah. | |
| |
| Thy name is love, I know that Thou | |
| Wilt leave none in despair | 10 |
| Who seek Thy face; I know that Thou | |
| Wilt hear the sinner’s prayer— | |
| Let me clasp Thy hand in mine, | |
| Let me know Thy peace divine, | |
| Let my will be lost in Thine— | 15 |
| Lord, Thou great Jehovah. | |
| |
| Help me to bear the burden, Lord, | |
| With patience run the race; | |
| And when the storms of life are past | |
| Grant I may see Thy face— | 20 |
| When earth’s night has passed away, | |
| In bright realms of endless day | |
| May I dwell with Thee for aye— | |
| Lord, Thou great Jehovah. | | | | |
