Be thou my guardian and my guide

Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Confirmation 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.

Come, give our lives direction, the gift we covet most: to share the resurrection that leads to Pentecost. Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17 Used With Tune: MUNICH
