1 Saviour and Lord of all,
We lift our hearts to Thee;
Guide us and guard us,
Guide us and guard us
Where'er our path may be.

2 When we are full of grief,
Victims of anxious care,
Oh, then be near us,
Oh, then be near us,
Jesus be ever near.

3 Brighten our darkest hour,
'Till our last moments come;
Then in Thy power,
Then in Thy power
Take us, oh, take us home.
