1 Blessed Saviour, ever guide me,
Fro I dare not walk alone,
But, I pray Thee, walk beside me,
Let Thy blood for me atone.
Saviour, guide me,
Bid my doubts and fears all cease
Saviour, guide me,
Lead me in Thy paths of peace.

2 Saviour guide me, ever guide me,
For I could not find the way;
I am safe with Thee beside me,
Lead me one to endless day.
Saviour, guide me,
May my hope and faith increase;
Saviour, guide me,
Lead me in Thy paths of peace.

3 Saviour, thro’ this dark world guide me;
How I need just such a friend!
For no evil can betide me,
If Thou wilt Thy presence lend.
Saviour, guide me,
Speak, and all life’s storms will cease;
Saviour, guide me,
Lead me in Thy paths of peace.

4 Onward, upward, Saviour guide me,
Into holy realms of love;
In Thine own pavilion hide me,
Take me to Thy home above.
Saviour, guide me,
Till the captive gets release;
Saviour, guide me,
To Thy home of joy and peace.
