Show Me the Way, Dear Savior

Show me the way

dear Sav­ior!

The shadows are fall­ing fast;

And thro’ the clouds above me

No ray of light is cast;

The storm is wild­ly rag­ing

The thun­ders loud­ly roar;

The rest­less waves are dash­ing

Against the wreck-strewn shore.

Show me the way

dear Sav­ior

That Thou wouldst have me go;

Show me the way

dear Sav­ior

For Thou alone dost know.

Show me the way

dear Sav­ior!

The night is so wild and dark;

I cannot stem the cur­rent

Unless Thou guide my bark;

Oh

fierc­er grows the tem­pest

And wild­er rolls the sea!

Help! help me O my Sav­ior!

I trust alone in Thee.

Show me the way

dear Sav­ior!

My cour­age is fail­ing fast;

My storm tossed bark is sink­ing;

Shall I be lost at last?

Come near­er

near­er to me

And speak the word of peace

That stills the an­gry wa­ters

And bids the tem­pest cease.
