Text:Savior, Take My Hand
Tune:[Take my hand, O loving Savior]
Composer:D. B. Towner

91. Savior, Take My Hand

1 Take my hand, O loving Savior,
I have fallen by the way;
Lift me up and gently lead me
Into thy more perfect way.

Chorus:
Lead me, Savior, ever lead me,
Let me lay my hand in thine;
I would be thy child forever,
Lead me by thy love divine.

2 I have strayed, O loving Savior,
From thy tender Shepherd's band;
I would be thy child forever,
Then, O Savior, take my hand. [Chorus]

3 I am weak, O loving Savior,
And temptation's darts are strong;
Let thy loving, tender mercy
Keep me from the paths of wrong. [Chorus]
