981. Ever Lead Me

1 Out on this dark world, Savior, am I,
Be Thou my helper, oh, hear my cry;
Thou art my portion, all is in Thee,
Oh, let Thy mighty hand ever lead me.

Refrain:
Wilt Thou lead me by the hand?

2 Hope of my heart, Lord, strength of my soul,
Guide Thou my footsteps and keep me whole;
My grace and fortress, Lord, Thou wilt be,
Oh, let Thy mighty hand ever lead me. [Refrain]

3 Calm Thou the wild storm, clear up the way,
Keep me from falling, by night and day;
Trav’ling to glory, walking with Thee,
Oh, let Thy mighty hand ever lead me. [Refrain]
