1 Guide me, O my Saviour, guide me!
Let me clasp Thy hand!
Choose my path, and guide my footsteps
To the heav’nly land.
Guide me, O my Saviour, guide!
Keep me close to Thee!
Guide me, O my Saviour, guide!
Keep me close to Thee!

2 Guide me, O my Saviour, guide me!
Hold my wayward heart,
Clasp me closer to Thy bosom,
Nevermore to part.
Guide me, O my Saviour, guide!
Keep me, Lord, with Thee!
Guide me, O my Saviour, guide!
Keep me, Lord, with Thee!

3 Guide me, O my Saviour, guide me!
Let me hear Thy voice,
In the light or thro’ the shadow
Make my soul rejoice.
Guide me, O my Saviour, guide!
Keep me safe with Thee!
Guide me, O my Saviour, guide!
Keep me safe with Thee!
