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 couldst bestow, could with this one compare A constant sense of Thy abiding presence Where ever I am, to feel that Thou are 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 In Jesus, Amen
