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.
