144. Saviour, Keep Me

1 Saviour, keep me ev’ry day,
In Thy pure and perfect way
Let me drink the stream that flows
From the peace Thy word bestows;
Thou to whom my voice I raise,
Thou whose name the angels praise,
Now to me Thine ear incline,
Saviour, keep me ever Thine.

2 I would live for Thee alone,
Consecrate me all Thine own;
In Thy realm of bliss above,
Bind my heart with cords of love;
Let Thy work in me be done,
Let my will and Thine be one;
To my prayer Thine ear incline,
Saviour, keep me ever Thine.

3 While I tread this fleeting shore,
Where Thy feet have gone before,
By Thy grace uphold me still,
May its light my spirit fill;
More than life Thy love to me,
Whom in heav’n have I but Thee?
To my prayer Thine ear incline,
Saviour, keep me ever Thine.
