Hide not Thy face
O Lord of Grace;
Thou who hast tasted woe;
Thro’ error’s night lend Thou Thy light
To guide me as I go!
Guide me
guide me
in this world of woe;
Thro’ error’s night lend Thou Thy light
To guide me as I go!
On Calv’ry’s tree a thief to Thee
Turned his repentant eyes
And for the gloom of death’s dark doom
Thou gavest paradise!
Guide me
guide me
guard me with Thine eyes
And for the gloom of death’s dark doom
Thou gavest paradise!
E’en so thro’ tears of burdened years
Earth’s children cry to Thee
Whose blood was spilt that human guilt
Be pardoned
full and free!
Guide me
guide me
hear my cry to Thee
Whose blood was spilt that human guilt
Be pardoned
full and free!
Contrite they plead their every need
Thy grace will e’en fulfill
To life’s last breath
thro’ gloom of death
Guide Thou the wayward still!
Guide me
guide me
that I do Thy will
To life’s last breath
thro’ gloom of death
Guide Thou the wayward still!
