Here I wan­der in need of the things of this life,
Asking help of the great world­ly throng;
But alone I must strug­gle to stand in the strife,
While my heart sings aloud this sweet song.

Refrain

O my Sav­ior is pre­cious to me,
And so pre­cious He ev­er will be;
He’s my com­fort and light,
Both by day and by night,
Yes, my Sav­ior is pre­cious to me.

I could not go alone with­out Je­sus my king,
For the way is so rug­ged and steep;
But when He is along I look up­ward and sing,
For my Sav­ior my spir­it will keep.

Refrain

I shall fear not the tem­pest that sweeps o’er my way,
For the Lord is my shep­herd I know;
He will lead me and keep me each step of the way,
So to Je­sus for re­fuge I go.

Refrain
