Cântăre A prayer in song

1. Savior, Thou art life to me,

Guard me by Thy watchful eye;

Ever by Thy Spirit be

Thou a guide to worlds on high.

Hide me from the storms of life;

Keep me from the tempter’s snare;

And while here ’mid toil and strife,

Let me cast on Thee my care.



2. Help me, Lord, to faithful be,

Give me grace to do Thy will;

That through all eternity,

Holy love my soul may thrill.

For though blest by worldly store,

Sanctioned by the creeds of men;

Jesus says, "I am the door,"—

He alone can save from sin.



3. Teach me from Thy blessed Word

Lessons precious to my soul;

Help me understand it, Lord,

By it make and keep me whole.

By Thy Word we stand or fall,

By Thy Word we live or die;

If in part and not by all,

Then we make His word a lie.



4. Oh, Thou art my refuge here,

All my hopes are built on Thee;

From all sin and slavish fear

Jesus makes me fully free.

So when all my toils are o’er,

Let me gain that blest abode;

And with loved ones gone before,

Ever dwell with me, my God.
