Savior, Guide Me

Blessèd Sav­ior

walk be­side me

Thro’ the wea­ry hours of life;

Twine Thy lov­ing arms around me

As I toil

’mid cares and strife.

When the tem­pests dark­ly ga­ther

And the threat’n­ing clouds hang low

I would cling to Thee so close­ly

That no fear my soul should know.

Savior

guide me on my jour­ney

Till the bounds of life are past;

Then

with all my la­bors end­ed

Bear me safe­ly home at last.

Blest Re­deem­er

stay Thou near me

When the tempt­er’s pow­er is strong

Lest my heart should wan­der from Thee

’Mid earth’s gay

en­tic­ing throng.

In my heart Thy truth I’d cher­ish

Guide me through earth’s joys and woes;

Let me ne’er for­get to praise Thee

Till in death mine eyes shall close.

When the ev­en­ing shades are fall­ing

And the night of death is near

May I hear sweet voices call­ing

And my heart be free from fear.

Thro’ the shadows

Sav­ior

bear me

To the loved ones gone be­fore.

Then

amid the joys ce­les­ti­al

May I praise Thee ev­er­more.
