For his own daily prayer he wrote this:--

8,6,8,6

Lass mich dein sein und bleiben

[98]Nicholas Selnecker

trans. by Catherine Winkworth, 1869

Make me Thine own and keep me Thine,

Thou faithful God and Lord!

Let nought seduce this heart of mine

From Thee and Thy pure Word.

Let me ne'er waver nor grow cold,

But give me steadfastness;

So shall I praise Thy grace untold

In heaven's eternal bliss.
