When I wander'd, Thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still Thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in Thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come, believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to Thee when tried; Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at Thy side.
