James Weldon Johnson, ed. (1871–1938). The Book of American Negro Poetry. 1922.

Keep Me, Jesus, Keep Me

KEEP me ’neath Thy mighty wing,

Keep me, Jesus, keep me;

Help me praise Thy Holy name,

Keep me, Jesus, keep me.

O my Lamb, come, my Lamb,

O my good Lamb,

Save me, Jesus, save me.

Hear me as I cry to Thee;

Keep me, Jesus, keep me;

May I that bright glory see;

Keep me, Jesus, keep me.

O my Lamb, my good Lamb,

O my good Lamb,

Keep me, Jesus, keep me.
