Saviour, lead us by thy power (140)

Saviour, 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 strait and narrow way.

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.

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.
