be my friend and guide.
Take my hand and ever keep me
at Your side.
2 Teach me how to grow in goodness
daily as I grow;
You have been a child, and surely
You will know.
3 Never leave me or forsake me,
ever be my friend;
for I need You from life's dawning
to its end. Languages: English Tune Title: CUTTLE MILLS
