233. The Lord Be With Us

1 The Lord be with us as we bend
His blessing to receive;
His gift of peace upon us send,
Before His courts we leave.

Refrain:
The Lord be with us,
The Lord be with us,
O may the Light that cheers the night
Be with us as we go.

2 The Lord be with us as we walk
Along our homeward road;
In silent thought or friendly talk,
Our hearts be still with God. [Refrain]

3 The Lord be with us till the night
Enfold our day of rest;
Be He of ev’ry heart the Light,
Of ev’ry home the Guest. [Refrain]

4 The Lord be with us thro’ the hours
Of slumber calm and deep;
Protect our homes, renew our pow’rs,
And guard His people’s sleep. [Refrain]
