35. Saviour, Walk Beside Us

1 Saviour, walk Thou still beside us;
Weak and wayward are our feet;
Safely thro’ the mazes guide us
Till we reach Thy mercy seat.
Precious Saviour, Precious Saviour,
Give us of Thy bread to eat, of Thy bread to eat.

2 Tender are Thy words of blessing,
Cheering us on as we go;
All our sins to Thee confessing,
Wash our souls as white as snow.
Precious Saviour, Precious Saviour,
Make us Thine while here below. Thine while here below.

3 Lord, impart Thy great salvation,
Flowing full and free to all;
Short will be our earth-probation;
Fit us for the heavenly call.
Precious Saviour, Precious Saviour,
Be to us our all in all, us our all in all.

4 By and by when death shall find us,
And we lay our burdens down,
We shall leave the cross behind us,
And take up the shining crown.
Precious Saviour, Precious Saviour,
Take from Thee the shining crown.
