Saviour of sinners, deign to shine

Saviour of sinners, deign to shine
On this benighted soul of mine;
O show my wandering feet the way
That leads to realms of endless day.

Reveal the path of life and peace,
The road to pure and perfect bliss.
Guide a poor pilgrim safely on;
Be thou my Shield and constant Sun!

'Midst all the dangers that await
My present militant estate;
Be thou, dear Jesus, ever near,
My soul to keep, my heart to cheer.

And when I shall resign my breath,
And walk the gloomy vale of death,
Then may I find the Lord my stay,
And thence to glory wing my way.
