Keep us, Lord, oh, keep us ever!

Vain our hope, if left by thee;

We are thine; oh, leave us never,

Till thy glorious face we see!

Then to praise thee

Through a bright eternity.

2 Precious is thy word of promise,

Precious to thy people here;

Never take thy presence from us,

Jesus, Saviour, still be near;

Living, dying,

May thy name our spirits cheer.
