Be With Me, Lord

Verse 1

I cross the ever-surging sea of life, Be with me, Lord; ‘Mid winds and currents in their ceaseless strife, Be with my, Lord; My barque is fragile, and may not withstand The billows beating high on ev’ry hand; Be with me, Lord, Be with me, Lord.

Verse 2

That I may safely pass the reefs and rocks, Be Thou my guide; To hold my course amid temptation’s shocks, Be Thou my guide; Thy Spirit be the compass in my heart, Thy Word my perfect, never-failing chart; Be Thou my guide, Be Thou my guide.

Verse 3

When hover clouds and night to close my day, Be Thy my light; When sun and moon and stars all fade away, Be Thou my light; Let not the tempest and the midnight gloom Obscure the passage to the promised home; Be Thou my light, Be Thou my light.

Verse 4

And when the ever-lasting hills I hail, Of Thee I’ll sing; Secure my anchor cast within the vail, Of Thee I’ll sing; Forever, as I tread the golden strand, And walk the holy heights of Beulah Land, Of Thee I’ll sing, Of Thee I’ll sing.
