The Song Book of the Salvation Army ‎#635

635. Take thou my hand and guide me

1 Take thou my hand and guide me
Till life be o’er,
To rest with thee beside me
For evermore.
My Saviour, do not leave me
One single day;
In Heaven with thee receive me
To dwell alway.

2 When faint my heart with sadness,
Bid cares all cease;
Grant me in pain or gladness
Thy perfect peace.
In lowliness I bend me
Before thy throne;
O let thine eyes defend me,
For blind my own!

3 E’en though my weak endeavour
Feel not thy might,
Yet thou wilt lead me ever
All through the night.
Then, take my hand and guide me
Till life be o’er,
To rest with thee beside me
For evermore.
