Blest Saviour, manifest Thyself
To keep me free from sin:
Empty me thoroughly of self,
And dwell alone within.

Thou art the Guardian of my life:
O make me pure and strong,
To win the victory in the strife
'Gainst wickedness and wrong.

Whenever temptations fierce assail,
Help me to trust in Thee,
For Satan's power can ne'er prevail
When Thou dost cover me.

Order my footsteps in the way
That leads to bliss on high,
Shape my endeavors day by day,
And guide me with Thine eye;

So that the deeds of every hour
May, in a Christ-like life,
Show forth my Saviour's sovereign power
To keep me in the strife.
