1 Dear Saviour, take my hand in Thine,
And lead me ev'ry day,
That I may never take a step
But in the shining way;
I cannot on myself rely,
I cannot walk alone;
O Saviour, take my hand in Thine,
And lead me as Thine own.
2 O Saviour, take my hand in Thine,
‘Tis oft a weary way;
And I have never found myself
Sufficient for the day;
Upon Thy help I must rely
My journey to pursue;
O Saviour, take my hand in Thine,
And daily strength renew.
3 O Saviour, take my hand in Thine,
Thou only know’st the way;
And Thou canst lead me in the path
That ends in perfect day;
Thy gentle hand will safely guide
My pilgrim feet above,
And thro' the everlasting years
I’ll magnify Thy love.
