Composer:Emmett S. Dean

245. Keep Me Ev'ry Day

1 Lord, I want to live for Thee,
Ev’ry day and hour;
Let Thy spirit be with me,
In its saving pow’r!

Chorus:
Keep my heart, and keep my hand,--
Keep my soul, I pray!
Keep my tongue to speak Thy praise,--
Keep me all the way!

2 In my weakness, be my strength,--
In my trials all,
Be Thou, near me all the day,--
Hear my ev’ry call! [Chorus]

3 Leave me not, to walk alone,
Lest I droop and die.
Let Thy spirit go with me,
And attend my cry! [Chorus]
