i must have the saviour

I must have the Saviour with me

for I dare not walk alone,

I must feel His presence near me,

and His arm around me thrown.




Then my soul shall fear no ill,

let Him lead me where He will,

I will go without a murmur,

and His footsteps follow still.




I must have the Saviour with me

for my faith at best is weak;

He can whisper words of comfort,

that no other voice can speak.




I must have the Saviour with me

in the onward march of life,

through the tempest and the sunshine,

through the battle and the strife.




I must have the Saviour with me,

and His eye the way must guide,

till I reach the vale of Jordan,

till I cross the rolling tide
