By A Collection of Hymns

      7s & 6s.
      1 SON of God, if thy free grace
      Again hath raised me up,
      Called me still to seek thy face,
      And given me back my hope;
      Still thy timely help afford,
      And all thy loving kindness show:
      Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
      And never let me go!

      2 By me, O my Saviour, stand,
      In sore temptation's hour;
      Save me with thine outstretched hand.
      And show forth all thy power;
      O be mindful of thy word,
      Thy all-sufficient grace bestow:
      Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
      And never let me go!

      3 Give me, Lord, a holy fear,
      And fix it in my heart,
      That I may from evil near
      With timely care depart;
      Sin be more than hell abhorred;
      Till thou destroy the tyrant foe,
      Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
      And never let me go!

      4 Never let me leave thy breast,
      From thee, my Saviour, stray;
      Thou art my support and rest,
      My true and living Way;
      My exceeding great Reward,
      In heaven above, and earth below:
      Keep me, keep me, gracious Lord,
      And never let me go!
