12711. Keep Thou My Steps

1 Keep Thou my steps, O Lord, lest I should stray,
Forgetful of Thy Word, and lose my way.

Refrain:
Keep Thou, O Lord, and guard me every hour
Till I am safe beyond the tempter’s power.

2 Keep Thou my hand, O Lord, within Thine own,
And stay my wandering thoughts, on Thee alone. [Refrain]

3 Keep Thou my heart, O Lord, for I am weak,
Yet all my fears depart, if Thou but speak. [Refrain]

4 Thou art my life, O Lord, that I may be
In heart and will subdued, wholly to Thee. [Refrain]
