Christian Hymns ‎#58

58. My hope, my all, my Saviour, Thou!

1 My hope, my all, my Saviour Thou!
To Thee, O Lord, my soul I bow;
I seek the bliss Thy wounds impart,
I long to find Thee in my heart.

2 Be Thou my strength, be Thou my way,
Protect me through my life's short day:
In all my acts let Wisdom guide,
And keep me, Saviour, near Thy side.

3 Correct, reprove, and comfort me;
As I have need, my Saviour be;
And if I would from Thee depart,
Then clasp me, Saviour, to Thy heart.

4 In fierce temptation's darkest hour,
Save me from sin and Satan's power;
Tear every idol from Thy throne,
And reign, my Saviour, reign alone.
