Representative Text

1 Blessed Redeemer, tenderly guide me
Thro' this world of sin and care,
In thy cleft side, oh safely hide me,
Bring me at last to thy kingdom fair.

2 When sorrows burden and fears annoy me,
Be my comfort and my stay,
In thy sweet service, lord, employ me,
Lead me along in the narrow way.
