| 1. In this wicked world am I,
Watch Thou o’er me from on high;
Keep my soul, lest I should be
Led astray, O Lord, from Thee.

All I am or hope to be,
I commit, dear Lord, to Thee;
Oh, preserve me in Thy love,
Till I reach Thy courts above.

Keep me lest the world allure;
Keep me in Thy secret place,
Where I e’er may see Thy face.

All I am or hope to be,
I commit, dear Lord, to Thee;
Oh, preserve me in Thy love,
Till I reach Thy courts above.

Ever in my soul abide.

From my lips be ever heard
That shall wound a tender heart,
Cause a tear of grief to start.

I commit, dear Lord, to Thee;
Oh, preserve me in Thy love,
Till I reach Thy courts above.

Nevermore to be mine own;
Keep me in Thy favor sweet,
In Thy grace and truth complete.

All I am or hope to be,
I commit, dear Lord, to Thee;
Oh, preserve me in Thy love,
Till I reach Thy courts above.
