45. Hold Me In Thy Care

1 Lamb of God, I look to Thee;
Thou shalt my Example be;
Thou art holy, meek, and mild;
I am but a sinful child.

Refrain:
Hold me Savior,
In Thy loving care,
Keep me from temptation,
More than I can bear.

2 Lord, I would be as Thou art,
Give to me th’obedient heart;
Thou art pitiful and kind,
Let me have Thy loving mind. [Refrain]

3 I shall then show forth Thy praise,
Serve Thee all my happy days;
And the world shall know and see
That Thy spirit dwells in me. [Refrain]
