Saviour, Saviour, be my guide

1

Saviour, Saviour, be my guide,For the way is dark and drear;Keep me ever near thy side,I am pressed by doubt and fear.Sorrows deep, and ills betide;O my faint petition hear!Come, and in my heart abide,O forever be thou near!

Chorus.

Keep me in the narrow way,Keep me in the narrow way,Guide me, guide me ev'ry day;Guide me, guide me ev'ry day;Let me never, never stray,Let me never, never stray,Keep me, Blessed One, I pray.

2

I am wayward, I am weak,Often falls the bitter tear;To my soul sweet comfort speak,As my helper, Lord, appear.Make me pure, and make me strong,And thy precepts to revere;Fill my heart with joy and song,Give my spirit hope and cheer.

3

Keep me, Saviour of my soul,Day by day, thro' ev'ry year;Self I yield to thy control,In my heart thy standard rear.O impart thy peace divine;To my prayer now lend thine ear;Own me as a child of thine,Keep me, keep me, Saviour dear.
