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 o'er burst above my head If lashing seas leap ev'rywhere about me They cannot harm or make my heart afraid Be with me Lord No other gift or blessing Thou couldst bestow, could with this one compare A constant sense of Thy abiding presence Wheree'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 O Lord, be with me then
