Keep Thou my way, O Lord, be Thou ever nigh; Strong is Thy mighty arm, weak and frail am I; Then, my unchanging Friend, on Thee, my hopes depend, Till life's brief day shall end, be Thou ever nigh. Keep Thou my heart, O Lord, ever close to Thee; Safe in Thine arms of love, shall my refuge be; Then, over a tranquil tide, my bark shall safely glide; I shall be satisfied, ever close to Thee. Keep Thou my all, O Lord, hide my life in Thine; O let Thy sacred light over my pathway shine; Kept by Thy tender care, gladly the cross I'll bear; Hear Thou and grant my prayer, hide my life in Thine.
