Representative Text

1 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Help our hearts today,
Keep our feet, dear Saviour
In the narrow way;
Let Thy gracious presence
Ever with us ‘bide,
Keep us, Lord, from straying
From Thy wounded side.

Refrain:
Saviour, Saviour, hear us when we pray,
Saviour, Saviour, Keep us ev’ry day.
Pure and holy we would ever be.

2 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Fill us with Thy grace,
Guide us in the sunshine
Of Thy holy face;
Help us to be loving
To each friend and foe,
That Thy tender mercy
All the world may know. [Refrain]

3 Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Keep us pure and white,
In the world’s dark places
Bringing joy and light;
Ever upward looking
To the promised land,
Ever downward reaching
With a helping hand. [Refrain]
