Keep Thou my way, O Lord,
Be Thou ever nigh;
Strong is Thy mighty arm,
Weak and frail am I;
Thou, my unchanging Friend,
On Thee my hopes depend;
Till life’s brief day shall end,
Be Thou ever nigh.
Keep Thou my heart, O Lord,
Ever close to Thee;
Safe in Thine arms of love,
Shall my refuge be;
Then, o’er a tranquil tide,
My bark shall safely glide;
I shall be satisfied,
Ever close to Thee.
Keep Thou my all, O Lord,
Hide my life in Thine;
O let Thy sacred light
O’er my pathway shine;
Kept by Thy tender care,
Gladly the cross I’ll bear;
Hear Thou and grant my pray’r,
Hide my life in Thine.
F. J. Crosby
According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.
Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee.
Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee?
When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice,
I must remember Thee;
Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me:
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.
And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.
James Montgomery
