Be thou my guardian and my guide
Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 8:5 Lyrics: 1 Be thou my guardian and my guide,
and hear me when I call;
let not my slipp'ery footsteps slide,
and hold me lest I fall.
2 The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell
around the path I tread;
O save me from the snares of hell,
thou quick'ner of the dead.
3 And if I tempted am to sin,
and outward things are strong,
do thou, O Lord, keep watch within,
and save my soul from wrong.
4 Still let me ever watch and pray,
and feel that I am frail;
that if the tempter cross my way,
yet he may not prevail.
