Thou, O Lord, wilt never leave me,
Thou wilt never me forsake;
Thou wilt keep, and thou wilt save me,
While thy word my guide I make:
|: Save from evil :|
For thy name and mercy's sake!
When my soul is dark and clouded,
Torn with doubt, and worn with care,
Through the veil by which ’tis shrouded,
Light from heaven will soon appear;
|: And thy presence :|
Banish every doubt and fear.
When my sky above is glowing,
And around me all is bright;
Pleasure, like a river flowing,
Fills my soul with sweet delight:
|: Thou will keep me, :|
Thou wilt guide my steps aright.
When my feeble flame is dying,
And my soul about to soar
To that land where pain and sighing
Shall be heard and known no more,
|: Thou wilt fill me :|
With thy presence evermore.
