Leave Me Not, O Gentle Savior

Leave me not

for I am lone­ly

And the way I can­not see;

Lest I wan­der in­to dan­ger

Keep me

Sav­ior

close to Thee.

Savior

Sav­ior

Keep me near to Thee;

Lest I wan­der in­to dan­ger

Keep me

Sav­ior

near to Thee.

Leave me not

for dark­ness ga­thers

Round ab­out the path I tread;

Leave me not

but let my foot­steps

Ever by Thy hand be led.

Leave me not

for sin is near me;

With temp­ta­tion life is fraught;

Then through all life’s toil­some jour­ney

O

my Sav­ior

leave me not.
