Light and Life Songs No. 3 ‎#16

16. My Friend and Guide

1 Jesus, Redeemer,
“Precious” tho’ unseen, today,
How can I ever
Thy great love repay?
All my hope and comfort,
More than life to me thou art;
Show to me the secret
Of thy loving heart.

Refrain:
Jesus my Savior,
Let me linger by thy side;
Now and forever
Be my Friend and Guide!

2 Whene’er I wander,
When in paths of sin I stray,
O, by thy favor,
Call me home, I pray!
To thy peace a stranger,
Leave me not in doubt and fear;
In the hour of danger
Let me feel thee near. [Refrain]

3 Constant forever,
Thou my soul’s eternal Friend,
Jesus my Savior,
Faithful to life’s end!
Keep me true and steadfast,
Let me never faithless roam;
Point the way to glory
And my Father’s home. [Refrain]

4 So when from heaven.
Thou, my Judge, shalt come again,
To me be given
With thy saints to reign.
Let me then in glory
Gaze on thy divinest face,
And proclaim the story
Of redeeming grace. [Refrain]
