Chorus
Be with me, Lord; be with me, Lord,
When I am in trouble and need. (rpt 1st time only)
Verse 1
You who dwell in the shelter of God most high,
Who abide in Almighty’s shade,
Say to the Lord: “My refuge, my stronghold,
My God, in whom I trust.”
Verse 2
Evil shall never befall you,
Nor affliction come near to your tent.
Unto his angels he’s given command
To guard you in all your ways.
Verse 3
On their hands the angels will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot ‘gainst a stone.
Lion or viper might strike at your life
But you will not come to harm.
Verse 4
Cling to the Lord and he’ll surely deliver you:
He raises up all who call on his name.
He will bring joy to your hearts
And bless you with peace all in your days.
