My Jesus , may Thy love alone,
Guide me in pilgrim way,
Let earthly charms for e'er be gone,
Be Thou my only stay.
Lord , purify my heart and mind,
That work of grace in me,
Teach me from day to day to find,
Thy matchless love so free,
Thy faithful Word gives life and light,
When Satan's darts assail,
Give me the needed inward might,
The joy that will prevail.
A lasting hope of Zion above,
My vision make Thou clear,
Oh! Holy Spirit gentle Dove,
Lead Thou me safely there.
Beneath Thy wings do shelter me,
My hiding place is there,
When night be gone the day I see,
My anchor is secure.
A crown of life awaits me there,
If faithful I shall be.
And those who bear the cross will share
Thy throne eternally.
