Song Lyrics

BE THOU MY GUARDIAN AND MY GUIDE

Present

Lyrics

Font size:
[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.

[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.

[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.

[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.
