9017. He Blesses And Saves Me

1 My Savior is with me, and walks close beside me;
I follow Him gladly wherever He leads;
He cleanses so fully and keeps me so sweetly,
According to promise supplieth my need.

Refrain:
O glory to Jesus, He blesses and saves me,
He satisfies now, and will still be my guide;
Tho’ troubles o’ertake me and dangers befall me,
His grace will uphold me whatever betide.

2 He’s with me in mercy, He’s with me in spirit,
There’s nothing can harm me when He is so near;
He never will leave me, He’s with me this moment,
My light in all darkness, my trust in all fear. [Refrain]

3 I’m saved, and rejoice in this glorious salvation;
I’m wondrously kept, and my pathway is bright;
I live in the hope of the great resurrection,
When I shall behold Him in garments of light. [Refrain]
