130. Keep Close to Your Guide

1 Keep close to your Guide as you journey along,
The dangers are great and the enemy strong,
The conflict is fierce between right and the wrong,—
Keep close to your Guide!

Refrain:
Keep close to your Guide, whatever betide;
In joy or in pain, in sunshine or rain,
Keep close, keep close to your Guide!

2 Keep close to your Guide, for no other can show
The snares that are set in the path where you go;
He traveled the way, and who better can know?—
Keep close to your Guide! [Refrain]

3 Keep close to your Guide, he will lead you aright
And give you the courage to win the great fight;
He’ll bring you at last to the mansions of light,—
Keep close to your Guide! [Refrain]
