Verse 1

In this wicked world am I, Watch Thou o’er me from on high; Keep my soul, lest I should be Led astray, O Lord, from Thee.

Chorus

All I am or hope to be, I commit, dear Lord, to Thee; Oh, preserve me in Thy love, Till I reach Thy courts above.

Verse 2

Keep me spotless, keep me pure, Keep me lest the world allure; Keep me in Thy secret place, Where I e’er may see Thy face.

Chorus

All I am or hope to be, I commit, dear Lord, to Thee; Oh, preserve me in Thy love, Till I reach Thy courts above.

Verse 3

Keep me guiltless night and day, Help me Thy commands obey; Keep me humble, let not pride Ever in my soul abide.

All I am or hope to be, I commit, dear Lord, to Thee; Oh, preserve me in Thy love, Till I reach Thy courts above.

Verse 4

Keep me gentle, let no word From my lips be ever heard That shall wound a tender heart, Cause a tear of grief to start.

Chorus

All I am or hope to be, I commit, dear Lord, to Thee; Oh, preserve me in Thy love, Till I reach Thy courts above.

Verse 5

Keep me for Thyself alone, Nevermore to be mine own; Keep me in Thy favor sweet, In Thy grace and truth complete.

All I am or hope to be, I commit, dear Lord, to Thee; Oh, preserve me in Thy love, Till I reach Thy courts above.
