Keep Me, My Lord

Barney Elliott Warren (1905) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 25:20

Verse 1

Keep me in touch with Thee, My blessed Lord; Thine shall the glory be, Mine the reward; Cover my soul with grace, In that most holy place, Till I shall see Thy face, Keep me, my Lord.

Verse 2

Lord, with Thy gentleness, I would be great; Blest with Thy holiness, Be this my state; To Thee my all resign, Oh, let Thy will be mine, In Thy great love divine, Keep me, my Lord.

Verse 3

Conquer my every foe, While here I stay; Unto the end I’ll go, Let me not stray; Down into nothingness, Hid in Thy righteousness, Firm in Thy faithfulness, Keep me, my Lord.

Verse 4

Oh, let Thy watchful eye, Be over me; Hear Thou my humble cry, Coming to Thee; Guide Thou my steps aright, Be Thou my song at night, My theme and heart’s delight, Keep me, my Lord.
