In Thy presence, Lord, enfold me,
As the busy hours go by;
Paths I know not lie before me,
I am safe for Thou art nigh.
Gleaming golden through life’s story,
Grace and mercy sweetly twine;
“Hitherto” Thy love hath kept me,
And will keep by power divine.
Till the tears of time are over
May my will surrendered be;
Joy or sorrow thus shall yield me
Closer fellowship with Thee.
Daily lead me, gracious Saviour,
Sweet it is to walk with Thee;
Loving—serving—watching—waiting,
Till Thy glory, Lord, I see.
