Dear Lord, and will thy pardoning love
Embrace a wretch so vile?
Wilt thou my load of guilt remove,
And bless me with thy smile?
Hast thou the cross for me endured,
And suffered all my shame?
And shall I be ashamed, O Lord,
To own thy precious name?
No, Lord, I'm not ashamed of thee,
Nor of thy cause on earth!
O do not be ashamed of me,
When I resign my breath.
Be thou my shield, be thou my sun;
O guide me all my days;
And let my feet with joy run on
In thy delightful ways.
---Alternative verses---
Be thou my shield, be thou my sun;
O guide me all my days;
And let my feet with joy still run
In thy delightful ways.
