Lord, Be With and Watch Between Us

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 31:49

Verse 1

Lord, be with and watch between us, Guard the door of ev’ry heart; Make Thy face to shine upon us, And to each Thy grace impart.

Chorus

Grant us peace, that, like a river Onward flows, and flows forever; Till in heav’n we all shall gather, Never more to part again.

Verse 2

Lord, be with and watch between us, Wheresoever we may be; In our absence from each other, May we still abide in Thee.

Chorus

Grant us peace, that, like a river Onward flows, and flows forever; Till in heav’n we all shall gather, Never more to part again.

Verse 3

Lord, be with and watch between us, Keep our hearts from ev’ry sin; Still protect, defend, preserve us, Going out and coming in.

Chorus

Grant us peace, that, like a river Onward flows, and flows forever; Till in heav’n we all shall gather, Never more to part again.

Verse 4

Lord, be with and watch between us, Lift our souls and light our way; To a life without a shadow, In a land of perfect day.

Chorus

Grant us peace, that, like a river Onward flows, and flows forever; Till in heav’n we all shall gather, Never more to part again.
