190. Savior! Lead Us by Thy Power

8.7.8.7.D.
by W. Williams
1
Savior! lead us by Thy power
 
Safe into the promised rest;
 
Choose the path — the way whatever
 
Seems to Thee, O Lord, the best:
 
Be our guide in every peril,
 
Watch and keep us night and day,
 
Else our foolish hearts will wander
 
From the straight and narrow way.
2
Since in Thee is our redemption,
 
And salvation full and free,
 
Nothing need our souls dishearten
 
But forgetfulness of Thee:
 
Naught can stay our steady progress,
 
More than conquerors we shall be,
 
If our eye, whate’er the danger,
 
Looks to Thee, and none but Thee.
3
In Thy presence we are happy;
 
In Thy presence we’re secure;
 
In Thy presence all afflictions
 
We can easily endure;
 
In Thy presence we can conquer,
 
We can suffer, we can die;
 
Wandering from Thee we are feeble;
 
Let Thy love, Lord, keep us nigh.
