Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus be my guiding light,
through all the darkness of the night,
and in Your keeping I will rest,
dear Jesus help me.
In that last hour before the dawn,
when earthly hopes all seem forlorn,
at lowest ebb be with me still,
sweet Jesus guard me.

When morning comes, remain I pray,
throughout the bustle of the day,
to be the beacon of my life,
dear Jesus help me.
And if in life's bewilderment,
my harried mind should cease to think,
of You, dear Lord, stay at my side,
sweet Jesus guard me.

In Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall,
upon Your loving care I call,
I know that I am not alone,
dear Jesus help me.
And as the seasons come and go,
the years go by, yet still I know,
all time is but a gift from You,
sweet Jesus guard me.

And whether night or whether day,
I know that You will mark the way,
that I must travel through this life,
dear Jesus, help me.
So that to You I come at last,
at journey's end, my travails past,
to stand with You in perfect peace,
sweet Jesus, my Lord.
