BE THOU WITH ME.

Be thou with me; the way is dark and drear, Vouchsafe, O God, to make the pathway clear. Doubtful and devious still my way must be If thou dost guide me not—be thou with me.
Life's bitter chalice to its dregs I sip, Its fair fruits turn to ashes on my lip; O thou who wept in dark Gethsemane, I too have suffered—oh, be thou with me!
Lonely, adrift upon a troubled sea, The cold waves, pitiless, break over me; O thou who stilled the waves of Galilee, Still thou my troubled soul—be thou with me.
O Cross to which I cling, illumine the night; O Lamp unto my feet, shed forth the light; O Love divine that brightened Calvary, Descend upon my heart—be thou with me. —Advance.
