42*. Savior! Lead Us by Thy Power

8,7.
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.
“For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me.” (Psalm 31:3)
“And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.” (Psalm 107:7)
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.
“The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.” (Psalm 121:5)
“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.” (2 Corinthians 12:8)
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Corinthians 12:8-9)
“According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:20-21)
