Lyrics

Savior, bless­èd Sav­ior,
We would work­ers be,
Walking in Thy pre­sence
Ever close to Thee;
In our heav’n­ward jour­ney,
Thro’ this world be­low,
Gently guide and teach us,
All the truth to know.

Savior, bless­èd Sav­ior,
May we ev­er be
Loving, kind and gen­tle,
More and more like Thee;
Make us ev­er help­ful
To the sad and lone,
Bringing them the sun­shine,
Pointing to Thy throne.
