1230. Saviour, Saviour, be my guide

1 Saviour, Saviour, be my guide,
For the way is dark and drear;
Keep me ever near thy side,
I am pressed by doubt and fear.
Sorrows deep, and ills betide;
O my faint petition hear!
Come, and in my heart abide,
O forever be thou near!

Chorus:
Keep me in the narrow ay,
Guide me, guide me ev'ry day;
Let me never, never stray,
Keep me, Blessed One, I pray.

2 I am wayward, I am weak,
Often falls the bitter tear;
To my soul sweet comfort speak,
As my helper, Lord, appear.
Make me pure, and make me strong,
And thy precepts to reverse;
Fill my heart with joy and song,
Give my spirit hope and cheer. [Chorus]

3 Keep me, Saviour of my soul,
Day by day, thro' ev'ry year;
Self I yield to thy control,
In my heart thy standard rear.
O impart thy peace divine;
To my prayer now lend thine ear;
Own me as a child of thine,
Keep me, keep me, Saviour dear. [Chorus]
