Lyrics & Stanzas
5 portions
Verse 1
Lord, wilt Thou lift my feeble hand? Deep is the darkness o'er me, Give me the strength to firmly stand Thru all that lies before me.
Verse 2
Wilt Thou Thy mighty hand extend, Lift me from grief and gladness? Wilt Thou my fainting soul attend, Lord, wilt Thou share my sadness?
Verse 3
When all my earthly friends are gone, Lord wilt Thou walk beside me? I cannot find my way alone, O Savior, wilt Thou guide me?
Verse 4
Do not forsake me, Lord, I pray; Dark is the way and lonely; Keep Thou my feet lest I should stray, Shed forth Thy love upon me.
Chorus
O Lord, hide not Thy blessed face, I need Thee ever near me! As I approach Thy throne of grace, Wilt Thou in mercy hear me?
