Still near me, O my saviour, stand
and guard me in temptation’s hour;
within the hollow of your hand
uphold me by your saving power:
no force in earth or hell shall move
or ever tear me from your love.
2. Still let your love point out my way-
what gifts of grace your love has brought!
Still counsel me from day to day,
direct my work, inspire my thought:
and if I fall, soon let me hear
your voice, and know that love is near.
3. In suffering, let your love be peace,
in weakness, let your love be power:
and when the storms of life shall cease,
Jesus, in that tremendous hour,
through death to life still be my guide
and save me then, for whom you died!
