Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee;
Without thee I am forsaken,
All my fondest hopes are shaken,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Keep me close, keep me close,
This my constant prayer shall be;
Keep me close, keep me close,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee;
In thy mighty arms secure me,
There temptations cannot lure me,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Keep me close, keep me close,
This my constant prayer shall be;
Keep me close, keep me close,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee;
If earth's ties must all be riven,
And its dearest idols given,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Keep me close, keep me close,
This my constant prayer shall be;
Keep me close, keep me close,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee;
Keep till sin no more can sever,
And all danger passed forever,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
Keep me close, keep me close,
This my constant prayer shall be;
Keep me close, keep me close,
Precious Saviour, keep me close to thee.
