47. Saviour, Lead My Erring Footsteps

1 Saviour, lead my erring footsteps,
Let Thy word my counsel be,
Guard me ever, let me never,
For a moment turn from Thee.

Refrain:
Hide me, O my blessed Saviour,
Thou my hope, my only guide,
Hide me till the storm is over,
And I cross the swelling tide.

2 In the hour of sore temptation,
O sustain me by Thy grace,
Hold me in Thy arms of mercy,
Hide me in Thy secret place. [Refrain]

3 Till my pilgrim days are over,
Be Thou still my constant guest,
Then receive, forgive and bring me
To Thy everlasting rest. [Refrain]
