I see the sights that dazzle, the tempting sounds I hear. My foes are ever near me, around me and within; but, Jesus, then draw nearer to shield my soul from sin. 3 Oh, let me hear you speaking in accents clear and still above the storms of passion, the murmurs of self-will. Now speak to reassure me, to hasten or control; now speak and make me listen, O Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servant shall be too. And Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; oh, give me grace to follow, my master and my friend. Used With Tune: MUNICH

I am the refuge of the soul and lead you to your heav'nly goal." 4 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, and take the cross appointed, and, firmly clinging to his word, in suff'ring be undaunted.

Let not eternal death assail me Should I transgress it on my side!
