Take me, Saviour, keep me near thee,
I the future may not know,
But I pray thee to direct me,
As I journey here below.
I am clinging to thy promise,
And thy word can never fail;
Lift me through life's fitful changes,
Till the evening shades prevail.
Keep me, Saviour, I am trusting
Wholly on thy strength and love,
And I pray that thou wouldst ever
Stay my soul on things above.
Make my heart thy temple holy,
Free from envy, strife or sin,
Make me pure, O blessed Jesus,
May thy child the victory win.
Save me now, O blessed Jesus,
I am weak, but thou art strong,
Teach my lips thy truths to utter,
Till I sing the glad, new song
In the kingdom of the blessed,
Where the day doth ever shine;
I am thine, dear Lord, forever,
Blessed Jesus, I am thine.
