Be Thou my Guardian and my Guide

Verse 1

Be thou my guardian and my guide, and hear me when I call; let not my slippery footsteps slide, and hold me lest I fall.

Verse 2

The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell around the path I tread; O save me from the snares of hell, thou quickener of the dead.

Verse 3

And if I tempted am to sin, and outward things are strong, do thou, O Lord, keep watch within, and save my soul from wrong.

Verse 4

Still let me ever watch and pray, and feel that I am frail; that if the tempter cross my way, yet he may not prevail.
