Thou hast been my help, Lord Je¤sus,
Leave, oh, leave me not I pray;
Fierc¤er grows the con¤flict dai¤ly,
And I need Thee all the way.

Chorus:
Leave me not, leave me not;
Pre¤cious Sav¤iour leave me not;
En¤e¤mies and foes sur¤round me,
In Thy mer¤cy leave me not.

Oh for¤sake me not, my Sav¤iour,
Weak and wa¤v’ring though I be;
Ev¤er¤last¤ing strength is prom¤ised
Un¤to those who trust in Thee.

Put me not a¤way in an¤ger,
Thou hast been my hope and stay;
Cause Thy face to shine up¤on me,
Suf¤fer not my feet to stray.

Sav¤iour, in the time of trou¤ble,
Hide me in the se¤cret place;
Keep me ev¤er¤more re¤joic¤ing
In Thy right¤eous¤ness and grace.
