Representative Text

1 My Saviour, in Thy love abiding,
Oh, may I feel Thee ever near;
And in Thy strength each day confiding,
May I be kept from doubt and fear.

Refrain:
I cannot live from Thee apart,
Thou, Thou only hast my heart.

2 My Saviour, let me feel Thee near me,
And in Thy presence find my rest;
In every ill Thy voice will cheer me,
And gently call me to Thy breast. [Refrain]

3 My Saviour let me never leave Thee,
Oh, keep me safely at Thy side;
Oh, may I never, never grieve Thee,
But ever in Thy love abide. [Refrain]
