Lyrics

Jesus, hear me when I pray,
Keep and guide me all the day;
Save from fear and care of sin,
Keep me pure and strong with­in.

Refrain

Where I am and what I do,
Keep me faith­ful, keep me true;
Where I am and what I do,
Keep me faith­ful, keep me true.

Hear me when I pray for light,
Fill me with Thy glo­ry bright;
Save from en­vy thro’ the day,
Love, pro­tect me all the way.

Refrain

Hear me when to Thee I call,
When the clouds of dark­ness fall;
Let me hear Thy ten­der voice,
That with Thee I may re­joice.

Refrain

Jesus, hear me, I am Thine;
Give to me Thy love di­vine;
Teach me how to walk with Thee,
In Thy love I would be free.
