57. Lord, Be With and Watch Between Us

1 Lord, be with and watch between us,
Guard the door of ev'ry heart;
Make Thy face to shine upon us,
And to each Thy grace impart.

Chorus:
Grant us peace, that, like a river
Onward flows, and flows forever;
Till in heav'n we all shall gather,
Never more to part again.

2 Lord, be with and watch between us,
Wheresoever we may be;
In our absence from each other,
May we still abide in Thee. [Chorus]

3 Lord, be with and watch between us,
Keep our hearts from ev'ry sin;
Still protect, defend, preserve us,
Going out and coming in. [Chorus]

4 Lord, be with and watch between us,
Lift our souls and light our way;
To a life without a shadow,
In a land of perfect day. [Chorus]
