- 1Jesus, my Truth, my Way,
- My sure, unerring Light,
- On Thee my feeble soul I stay,
- Which Thou wilt lead aright.
- 2My Wisdom and my Guide,
- My Counsellor thou art:
- O let me never leave Thy side,
- Nor from Thy paths depart.
- 3Thou seest my feebleness;
- Jesus, be Thou my Power,
- My help and Refuge in distress,
- My Fortress and my Tower.
- 4Give me to trust in Thee;
- Be Thou my sure abode:
- My horn, and rock,and buckler be,
- My Saviour and my God.
- 5Myself I cannot save,
- Myself I cannot keep;
- But strength in Thee I surely have,
- Whose eyelids never sleep.
- 6My soul to Thee alone
- Now therefore I commend:
- Thou, Jesus, having loved thine own,
- Wilt love me to the end!
