Our Saviour Lutheran Church - I Bind Unto Myself Today

I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same
The Three in One and One in Three

I bind this day to me forever
By pow'r of faith Christ's incarnation
His Baptism in the Jordan River
His cross of death for my salvation
His bursting from the spiced tomb
His riding up the heavenly way
His coming at the day of doom
I bind unto myself today

I bind unto myself today
The pow'r of God to hold and lead
His eye to watch His might to stay
His ear to harken to my need
The wisdom of my God to teach
His hand to guide His shield to ward
The Word of God to give me speech
His heav'nly host to be my guard

Against the demon snares of sin
The vice that gives temptation force
The natural lusts that war within
The hostile foes that mar my course
Or few or many far or nigh
In ev'ry place and in all hours
Against their fierce hostility
I bind to me those holy pow'rs

I bind unto myself the name
The strong name of the Trinity
By invocation of the same
The Three in One and One in Three
Of whom all nature hath creation
Eternal Father Spirit Word
Praise to the Lord of my salvation
Salvation is of Christ the Lord
