LyicsKeep us, Lord, oh keep us ever!
Vain our hope, if left by thee;
We are thine; oh leave us never,
Till thy glorious face we see!
Then to praise thee
Through a bright eternity.
Precious is thy word of promise,
Precious to thy people here;
Never take thy presence from us,
Jesus, Savior, still be near;
Living, dying,
May thy name our spirits cheer.
