1 Savior, let me still abide
In the shadow of Thy wings;
Let me all my sorrow hide,
In the joy Thy mercy brings;
Draw me, keep me day by day,
Nearer, nearer, Lord to Thee;
All along my pilgrim way,
O my Savior, lead Thou me.
2 To the cross my soul was brought,
To the cross, with all its grief;
There a healing balm I sought,
There I found a sweet relief;
Yet for deeper love I pray,
Love that clings alone to Thee;
All along my pilgrim way,
O my Savior, lead Thou me.
3 Let me trust Thee more and more,
Let my will and Thine be one,
Till my warfare here is o’er,
Till the victory I have won;
In the light whose blessèd ray
Shining down, by faith I see,
All along my pilgrim way,
O my Savior, lead Thou me.
