Please to watch us, blessed Saviour

Representative Text

1 Please to watch us, blessed Saviour,
As we leave our "Sabbath home;"
Guide and keep us from all danger,
Till again to thee we come.

2 Though we very often wander
In the paths of vice and sin,
Yet we pray that thou wouldst hear us,
Cleanse and make us pure within.

3 Make each spirit meek and lowly,
Make us leave the ways of strife,
Lead us in the path of duty,
Lead us to the "better life."

4 Thus we'd serve thee, blessed Saviour,
Till we've crossed life's stormy sea,
And with each loved friend and teacher,
All are gathered home to thee.
