Be Thou My All

Be Thou my friend

my close com­pan­ion ev­er;

Earth’s paths di­verge as com­rades on­ward wend;

Friends may de­part

but Thou

O leave me nev­er!

Be Thou my friend

be Thou my friend.

Be Thou my strength

for I am full of weak­ness;

In Thee alone can I be strong at length;

Help me to lean on Thee in trust and meek­ness;

Be Thou my strength

be Thou my strength.

Be Thou my life: no oth­er one can feed me;

I

wea­ry

faint

so worn with pain and strife;

There liv­ing waters flow

O gent­ly lead me;

Be Thou my life

be Thou my life.

Be Thou my all; for ter­rors oft en­fold me

The vasts of Thy great uni­verse ap­pall;

Closer to Thy dear heart

yet clos­er hold me!

Be Thou my all

be Thou my all.
