Savior of my soul

1
Savior of my soul, let me choose thy goal. 
Self to thee I would surrender,
choose thy cross, be thy contender. 
Let me choose thy goal, Savior of my soul. 

2
Christ, extend thy hand, for I cannot stand. 
Thy soul's power, O share with me, 
and I thy follower close will be. 
I am too weak to stand; Christ, extend thy hand.

3
Jesus, grant me grace so to run my race, 
that I may victorious be. 
Thy favor show and prosper me. 
So as I run my race, Jesus, grant me grace.
