My Savior, 'Mid Life's Varied Scene

Author: Elizabeth A. Godwin, 1817-1889 Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My Savior, ’mid life’s varied scene, Be Thou my Stay; Guide me through each perplexing path, To perfect day. In weakness and in sin I stand; Still faith can clasp Thy mighty hand, And follow at Thy dear command. 2. My Savior, I have naught to bring Worthy of Thee; A broken heart Thou will not spurn Accept of me; I need Thy righteousness divine, I plead Thy promises as mine, I perish if I am not Thine. 3. My Savior, wilt Thou turn away From such a cry? My Refuge, wilt Thou me forget And must I die? Faith trembles; but her glance of light Has pierced through regions dark as night And entered into realms of light. 4. My Savior, ’mid Heaven’s glorious throng I see Thee there, Pleading with all Thy matchless love And tender care; Not for the angel forms around, But for lost souls in fetters bound, That they may hear salvation’s sound. 5. My Savior, thus I find my rest, Alone with Thee; Beneath Thy wing I have no fear Of what may be. Strengthened with Thy all-glorious might, I shall be conqueror in the fight, Then give to Thee my crown of light. Used With Tune: WILLERBY Text Sources: First published in the Evangelical Magazine, then in the 1873 edition of her Songs for the Weary
