| 1. Keep Thou my way, O Lord,
be Thou ever nigh;
Strong is Thy mighty arm,
weak and frail am I;
Then, my unchanging Friend,
on Thee, my hopes depend,
Till life’s brief day shall end,
be Thou ever nigh.
2. Keep Thou my heart, O Lord,
ever close to Thee;
Safe in Thine arms of love,
shall my refuge be;
Then, over a tranquil tide,
my bark shall safely glide;
I shall be satisfied,
ever close to Thee.
3. Keep Thou my all, O Lord,
hide my life in Thine;
O let Thy sacred light
over my pathway shine;
Kept by Thy tender care,
gladly the cross I’ll bear;
Hear Thou and grant my prayer,
hide my life in Thine.
