Verse 1
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.
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.
Verse 2
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.
If storms of trial burst above my head;
If lashing seas leap everywhere about me,
They cannot harm or make my heart afraid.
Verse 3
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'er I am, to feel that Thou art near.
Thou couldst bestow could with this one compare;
A constant sense of Thy abiding presence,
Where'er I am, to feel that Thou art near.
Verse 4
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.
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.
