Keep Me

Verse 1

Saviour, Saviour, be my guide, For the way is dark and drear; Keep me ever near thy side, I am pressed by doubt and fear. Sorrows deep, and ills betide; O my faint petition hear! Come, and in my heart abide, O forever be thou near!

Chorus

Keep me in the narrow ay, Guide me, guide me ev'ry day; Let me never, never stray, Keep me, Blessed One, I pray.

Verse 2

I am wayward, I am weak, Often falls the bitter tear; To my soul sweet comfort speak, As my helper, Lord, appear. Make me pure, and make me strong, And thy precepts to reverse; Fill my heart with joy and song, Give my spirit hope and cheer.

Verse 3

Keep me, Saviour of my soul, Day by day, thro' ev'ry year; Self I yield to thy control, In my heart thy standard rear. O impart thy peace divine; To my prayer now lend thine ear; Own me as a child of thine, Keep me, keep me, Saviour dear.
