if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.

I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!

in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Topics: Invitation and Response; Assurance; Christ--Invitation of; Christian warfare; Covenant; Discipleship; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Invitation and Response; Ordination; Temptation of believers; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age.

on all the earth to shine.

that, all life’s voyage through,
amid the rocks and quicksands
still guides, O Christ, to you.

a lamp of purest gold
to bear before the nations
your true light, as of old;

by this our path to trace,

we see you face to face. Topics: The Church; Incarnation; Scripture; The Word Used With Tune: MUNICH

let thy voice call me home, saying, 'Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee:' [Refrain] Topics: Proper 8 Year C Used With Tune: MARGARET
