Love shall draw me to Him ever, At His feet I will abide.

Of my life the light for ev - er, I will leave my Je-sus nev-er!

Thou art the Way: to Thee a lone From sin and death we

And he who would the Fa-ther seek, Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee.

2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
I:Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.:[

3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;

For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
:And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.:||

4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
:Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.:

5 "E'en down to old age all my people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
:Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.:]

6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
:I'll never, no never, no never forsake!": [

Keen, 1787
