Be Thou My Guardian and My Guide

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.

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.

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.

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.
