Be With Me Lord

Be with me Lord

I cannot live without Thee

I dare not try to take one step alone

I cannot bear the loads of life unaided;

I need Thy strength to lean myself upon

Be with me Lord

And then if dangers threaten

If storms of trial burst above my head

If lashing seas leap everywhere about me

They cannot harm or make my heart afraid

Be with me Lord

No other gift or blessing

Thou could'st bestow could with this one compare

A constant sense of Thy abiding presence

Where'er I am to feel that Thou art near

Be with me Lord

When loneliness o'ertakes me;

When I must weep amid the fires of pain;

And when shall come the hour of my departure

For worlds unknown Oh Lord be with me then
