Lord, to Thee Alone We Turn

Lord

to Thee alone we turn

To Thy cross for safe­ty fly;

There

as pe­ni­tents

to learn

How to live and how to die.

Sinful on our knees we fall;

Hear us

as for help we plead;

Hear us when on Thee we call;

Aid us in our time of need.

In the midst of sin and strife

In the depths of mor­tal woe

Teach us

Lord

to live a life

Meet for so­journ­ers below.

Though the road be oft times dark

Though the feet in weak­ness stray

Lead us

Sav­ior as the ark

Led Thy chos­en on their way.

Weak and wea­ry and alone

When the vale of death we tread

Then be all Thy mer­cy shown

Then be all Thy love dis­played;

Guard us in that dark­some hour

Lead us to the land of rest

Where

se­cure from Sa­tan’s pow­er

We may lie up­on Thy breast.
