Make Christ King ‎#69

69. Keep Me as the Apple of the Eye

1 Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide
In paths that are divine,
That so my footsteps may not slide
Out of those ways of Thine.

Refrain:
Keep me as the apple of the eye,
Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings;
Keep me as the apple of the eye,
Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.

2 Upon Thee I have called, O God,
Because Thou wilt me hear;
That Thou mayst hearken to my speech,
To me incline Thy ear. [Refrain]

3 Thy wondrous loving-kindness show,
Thou, who by Thy right hand
Dost save all those who trust in Thee
From such as them withstand. [Refrain]
