G.52 You be My Light, o Lord

When the sun has set and the night is on,
When the darkness falls and the light has gone,
You be my light, O Lord, and lead on. (2)

When I’m growing weak and my steps are slow
When the hopes are bleak and I’ve strength no more,
You be my strength, O Lord, and lead on. (2)

When my eyes grow dim and I cannot see
When a chance is slim of a friend for me,
You be my friend, O Lord, and lead on. (2)

When I cannot talk for there’s no one here
And I cannot walk though the end is near,
You be my rest, O Lord, and lead on. (2)
