731: I Must Have The Saviour With Me

Meter:   8.7.8.7. Trochiac
Book:   1987 Song Book
Chapter:   The Salvation Soldier

1.
I must have the Saviour with me,
For I dare not walk alone;
I must feel his presence near me,
And his arm around me thrown.

Chorus
Then my soul shall fear no ill;
Let him lead me where he will,
I will go without a murmur,
And his footsteps follow still.

2.
I must have the Saviour with me,
For my faith at best is weak;
He can whisper words of comfort
That no other voice can speak.

3.
I must have the Saviour with me
In the onward march of life;
Through the tempest and the sunshine,
Through the battle and the strife.
