I must have the Sav­ior with me,
For I dare not go alone,
I must feel His pre­sence near me,
And His arm around me thrown.

Refrain

Then my soul shall fear no ill,
Let Him lead me where He will,
I will go with­out a mur­mur,
And His foot­steps fol­low still.

I must have the Sav­ior with me,
For my faith, at best, is weak;
He can whis­per words of com­fort,
That no oth­er voice can speak.

Refrain

I must have the Sav­ior with me,
In the on­ward march of life,
Thro’ the tem­pest and the sun­shine,
Thro’ the bat­tle and the strife.

Refrain

I must have the Sav­ior with me,
And His eye the way must guide,
Till I reach the vale of Jor­dan,
Till I cross the roll­ing tide.

Refrain
