At your heart as Christ goes round?
Savior, lead me, lest I stray,
Savior, lead me, lest I stray,
Seen by wise men from afar,
Silently come ze­phyrs from the sea, the sea;
Comforter of all the saints,
Thro’ this world be­low,
In the shin­ing sun;
While I was wand’ring in darkness and cold,
And morn­ing mer­cies from above
Once the most ho­ly Child of sal­va­tion
Songs of rap­ture swell­ing.
Christendom, proud­ly laud Him with one ac­cord,
Opens them wide.

Day of calm and sweet re­pose,
As the dew from Heav­en dis­till­ing,
And crafted into Your perfect plan
And crafted into Your perfect plan

Gently

Gently come and go;
Knocking, knock­ing, ev­er more.
I am safe when by Thy side,
I am safe when by Thy side,
Made a man­ger cra­dle bright.
Gently, like per­fumed, per­fumed breath,
May a fore­taste now be giv­en
All the truth to know.
Till the work be done.
Calling for me, for me!
Thou spread’st the cur­tains of the night,
Now as our glo­ri­ous migh­ty Re­deem­er,
Sweetly their voic­es blend,
Haste, then, O Is­ra­el, now ad­ore Him;
Guard them and keep them,
O let us not for­get,
Balm to soothe our cares and woes,
And re­vives it, thus ful­fill­ing
Guiding me by Your holy spirit
Guiding me by Your holy spirit
