Keep Me Thine

Teach my little hands and feet,
Useful, Lord, to be,
Tell me something I can do—
Every day for Thee.

Refrain

Keep me Thine, keep me Thine,
Blessèd Savior, keep me Thine.
Keep me Thine, keep me Thine,
Blessèd Savior, keep me Thine.

Teach my tongue a word to speak,
Gentle, soft and low,
Make me like a beam of light
Everywhere I go.

Refrain

Teach me how to love Thy Word,
Love it more and more;
Help me Lord, to work for Thee,
Till my life is o’er.

Refrain

This children's hymn appears in multiple 19th/early 20th-century Sunday-school collections (e.g., associated with publishers such as E. O. Excell or similar) but is almost always printed without a named lyricist. No strong attribution to a specific writer such as Fanny Crosby, Eliza Hewitt, or Julia Ward Howe has been established.
