Lyrics

Blessèd Sav­ior, while we ga­ther
In Thy pre­cious name,
Help us all to lift our voic­es
In the glad ac­claim.

Refrain

Thou alone are good and ho­ly,
There is none like Thee;
Now and ev­er­more ex­alt­ed,
Lord, Thy name shalt be.

Thro’ an­oth­er week de­part­ed
Thou hast been our stay;
We have shared Thy gifts and mer­cies,
New with ev­ery day;

Refrain

Thou hast led us, kind­ly led us,
From our in­fant years,
Healing all our pains and sor­rows,
Calming all our fears.

Refrain

Blessèd Sav­ior, keep, O keep us,
In Thy fold di­vine;
May Thy beams of love so ten­der
Round our path­way shine.
