<poem> | |||
By me, O my saviour, stand, | |||
In ev’ry trying hour; | |||
Guard me with thy outstretched hand. | |||
And hold me by thy power; | |||
Mindful of thy faithful word, | |||
Thine all sufficient grace bestow: | |||
Keep me, keep me, dearest Lord, | |||
And never let me go. | |||
Give me, Lord, an holy fear, | |||
And fix it in my heart, | |||
That I may from evil near, | |||
With speedy care depart: | |||
Still thy timely help afford, | |||
And all thy loving kindness shew; | |||
Keep me, keep me dearest Lord, | |||
And never let me go. | |||
Let me never leave thy breast, | |||
From thee, my saviour, stray: | |||
Thou art my support and rest, | |||
my true and living way; | |||
My exceeding great reward, | |||
In heav'n above, and earth below, | |||
Keep me, keep me dearest Lord, | |||
And never let me go. | |||
Never let me go, till I, | |||
Up-borne on songs of love, | |||
Gain the regions of the sky, | |||
And take my seat above: | |||
Thou hast past thy gracious word, | |||
That thou wilt bring me safely through; | |||
Thou wilt therefore keep me, Lord, | |||
And never let me go. | |||

By me, O my saviour, stand,
In ev’ry trying hour;
Guard me with thy outstretched hand.
And hold me by thy power;
Mindful of thy faithful word,
Thine all sufficient grace bestow:
Keep me, keep me, dearest Lord,
And never let me go.
Give me, Lord, an holy fear,
And fix it in my heart,
That I may from evil near,
With speedy care depart:
Still thy timely help afford,
And all thy loving kindness shew;
Keep me, keep me dearest Lord,
And never let me go.
Let me never leave thy breast,
From thee, my saviour, stray:
Thou art my support and rest,
my true and living way;
My exceeding great reward,
In heav'n above, and earth below,
Keep me, keep me dearest Lord,
And never let me go.
Never let me go, till I,
Up-borne on songs of love,
Gain the regions of the sky,
And take my seat above:
Thou hast past thy gracious word,
That thou wilt bring me safely through;
Thou wilt therefore keep me, Lord,
And never let me go.
