Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to Thee.
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is in vain.
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
Most Holy One;
O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessèd Son.
