Blessed Saviour, Thou Hast Taught Me

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: HOoS1926 #251 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Blessed Saviour, Thou hast taught me I should live to Thee alone, All these years Thy hand hath brought me, Since I first was made Thine own. At the font my vows were spoken By my parents in the Lord; That my vows shall be unbroken, At the altar I record. 2 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, O my only Guard from harm! Meet me now with Thy salvation, In the Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that, faith and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining Steadfast in the true belief, Resting in my Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.
