Sweet Savior Bless us ere we go Lyrics

1. Sweet Saviour bless us ere we go

Thy word into our minds instil,

And make our lukewarm hearts to glow,

With lowly love and fervent will.

Refrain: Through life’s long day

and Death’s dark night

O gentle Jesus, be our light.

2. The day is done, its hours have run,

And thou has taken count of all,

The scanty triumphs grace has won,

The broken vow, the frequent fall.

3. Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways,

True absolution and release,

And bless us more than in past days

With purity and inward peace.

4. Do more than pardon, give us joy,

Sweet fear and sober liberty,

And loving hearts without alloy,

That only long to be like thee.

5. Labour is sweet, for thou hast toiled,

And care is light for thou hast cared,

Let not our words with self be soiled,

Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.

6. For all we love-the poor, the sad,

The sinful-unto thee we call,

Oh let thy mercy make us glad,

Thou art our Jesus and our all.
