“To My Savior,” New Era, Dec. 1980, 38–39

In Tune:

To My Savior

I sought thy help in ages past,

I walked within thy sight.

Thy strength and love were my repast,

My life, my hope, my light.

1. My foes all fell before thy hand;

Temptations fled away

All turned to good at thy command

For thou didst lead the way.

O, Savior, how the night grows black;

My heart is filled with fear.

Once faith I had but now I lack;

I cannot feel thee near.

2. Upon my soul sore burdens press;

No solace can I find.

Thy light from heaven shines no less,

But sometimes I am blind.

Yet in the depths thy name I cry,

Head hung in humble prayer.

For me thou wast not loath to die;

My burden thou wilt share.

Not once when I had need of thee

Didst thou my tears ignore,

For thou wilt always care for me,

My peace thou wilt restore.
