Show me the way, dear Sav­ior!
The shadows are fall­ing fast;
And thro’ the clouds above me
No ray of light is cast;
The storm is wild­ly rag­ing,
The thun­ders loud­ly roar;
The rest­less waves are dash­ing
Against the wreck-strewn shore.

Refrain

Show me the way, dear Sav­ior
That Thou wouldst have me go;
Show me the way, dear Sav­ior,
For Thou alone dost know.

Show me the way, dear Sav­ior!
The night is so wild and dark;
I cannot stem the cur­rent,
Unless Thou guide my bark;
Oh, fierc­er grows the tem­pest,
And wild­er rolls the sea!
Help! help me O my Sav­ior!
I trust alone in Thee.

Refrain

Show me the way, dear Sav­ior!
My cour­age is fail­ing fast;
My storm tossed bark is sink­ing;
Shall I be lost at last?
Come near­er, near­er to me,
And speak the word of peace
That stills the an­gry wa­ters,
And bids the tem­pest cease.

Refrain
