| Milgrove was Precentor of the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel in Bath. This setting comes from "Twelve hymns and a favourite lyric poem written by Doctor Watts; set to music for four, and five voices, with organ accompaniments. . . " Printed for the author, and sold at his house in Bond Street, Bath, 1781. The general congregation (sometimes divided into men and women) should sing the Air. |
| Lyrics: Anon By me, O my saviour, stand, In ev'ry trying hour; Guard me with thy outstretched hand. And hold me by thy power; Mindful of thy faithful word, Thine all sufficient grace bestow; Keep me, keep me, dearest Lord, And never let me go. Give me, Lord, an holy fear, And fix it in my heart, That I may from evil near, With speedy care depart: Still thy timely help afford, And all thy loving kindness shew; Keep me, keep me dearest Lord, And never let me go. Let me never leave thy breast, From thee, my saviour, stray: Thou art my support and rest, My true and living way; My exceeding great reward, In heav'n above, and earth below, Keep me, keep me dearest Lord, And never let me go. Never let me go, till I, Up-borne on songs of love, Gain the regions of the sky, And take my seat above: Thou hast past thy gracious word, That thou wilt bring me safely through; Thou wilt therefore keep me, Lord, And never let me go. |
