Lyics

KEEP us, Lord, O keep us ever!

Vain our hope, if left by Thee;

We are Thine; O 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, Saviour, still be near;

Living, dying,

May Thy name our spirits cheer.
