Guide Me

Clara McAlister Brooks • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 32:8

Verse 1

With Thine eye, O Savior, guide me Through my pilgrimage below; In Thy secret presence hide me, On my heart Thy grace bestow.

Chorus

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, May I feel that Thou art nigh; Let me rest upon Thy promise, “I will guide Thee with mine eye.”

Verse 2

Guide me when the shadows o’er me To my vision dark appear; Let me see my way before me, As at noonday bright and clear.

Chorus

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, May I feel that Thou art nigh; Let me rest upon Thy promise, “I will guide Thee with mine eye.”

Verse 3

Guide my thoughts lest they should wander To the empty dreams of earth; Let me on Thy goodness ponder, Yea, on things of heav’nly worth.

Chorus

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, May I feel that Thou art nigh; Let me rest upon Thy promise, “I will guide Thee with mine eye.”

Verse 4

Guide my words that they be spoken In such kind and loving way; They may heal a heart that’s broken, Someone’s darkness turn to day.

Chorus

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, May I feel that Thou art nigh; Let me rest upon Thy promise, “I will guide Thee with mine eye.”

Verse 5

Guide my actions, O my Father, Guide my soul to heaven’s shore; Thee I’ll follow and no other, Be my guide forevermore.

Chorus

Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus, May I feel that Thou art nigh; Let me rest upon Thy promise, “I will guide Thee with mine eye.”
