My Savior Is Precious to Me (Henson)

lyricist: John Henson, 1927
Composer: Byron Whitworth

Here I wan­der in need of the things of this life

Asking help of the great world­ly throng;

But alone I must strug­gle to stand in the strife

While my heart sings aloud this sweet song.

O my Sav­ior is pre­cious to me

And so pre­cious He ev­er will be;

He’s my com­fort and light

Both by day and by night

Yes

my Sav­ior is pre­cious to me.

I could not go alone with­out Je­sus my king

For the way is so rug­ged and steep;

But when He is along I look up­ward and sing

For my Sav­ior my spir­it will keep.

I shall fear not the tem­pest that sweeps o’er my way

For the Lord is my shep­herd I know;

He will lead me and keep me each step of the way

So to Je­sus for re­fuge I go.
