Jesus, Blessed Saviour

by Fanny Crosby

Jesus, blessed Saviour,
Grant my earnest pray'r,
Take me now and keep me
In Thy watchful care.

Keep me from the Tempter,
Shield me from his pow'r,
Whisper words of comfort
In the trying hour.

Like a child submissive,
Help me, Lord to be.
Patient, Kind and gentle,
More and more like Thee.

Refrain

Lord, my youthful footsteps,
In the narrow way,
From Thy fold so peaceful
Let me never stray.
