1. Faithful Saviour, we draw near
To Thee in devotion.
Fill our hearts and minds we pray,
With Thy inspiration.
Let Thy word, the light divine,
In our hearts now brightly shine
And Thy fold enlighten.
2. Saviour, come with us abide;
Lord, for Thee we’re longing!
As our teacher now preside;
Still our ardent yearning!
May Thy word of truth so great
Many souls regenerate,
Life to all be sharing!
3. Teach us, Lord, that we may be
Filled with Thy true meekness.
We would humbly follow Thee,
Striving for Thy likeness.
Fill our hearts with this desire;
May we godliness acquire,
Like Thee, pure and righteous.
4. Show us how Thy word renews,
Giving us direction;
How its truth and healing strength
Leads to full perfection!
O, let Thy almighty word
Make us perfect in Thee, Lord,
Through its meditation!
5. Blessed joy to trust in Thee,
Lord of all creation!
For in Thee we build our faith,
Thou, our firm foundation.
Lord, in faith we look to Thee,
’Til the blest eternity
Leads to full salvation.
To Thee in devotion.
Fill our hearts and minds we pray,
With Thy inspiration.
Let Thy word, the light divine,
In our hearts now brightly shine
And Thy fold enlighten.
