1 O holy Savior! friend unseen,
Since on thine arm thou bid’st me lean,
Help me, throughout life’s changing scene,
By faith to cling to thee.
2 What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and joys remove?
With patient uncomplaining love,
Still I would cling to thee.
3 Though faith and hope a while be tried,
I ask not, need not aught beside:
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that cling to thee.
