Lyrics

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.

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.

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.

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.
