Stay with me, Lord……

When I start each day,

At school or at work or at play;

In my solitude, in my poverty

And in my days of plenitude;

When I go to rest or dream of the very best

And in my unceasing quest,

Stay with me, Lord.

In my delight or in my plight

And in my struggle to survive;

In failure or in success

In all my joys and temporary regrets;

When I’m put to the test anew

Stay with me, Lord.

And let me cling to you.
