O Savior, if Thou wilt be my Guide, Tho' dark and rugged the way, My voice shall echo the message sweet, I’ll say what you want me to say. (Chorus) 3 There’s surely somewhere a lowly place In earth’s harvest fields so wide, Where I may labor thro' life’s short day For Jesus, the Crucified; So, trusting my all to Thy care, I know Thou lovest me! I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere, I’ll be what you want me to be. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [It may not be on the mountain's height]
