Guard me, O Lord, from the perils of my path
through this mortal realm.
How can I not feel lost, abandoned and
alone when I am a stranger to this world?

Hold me in thy loving arms.
Give me a moment, a taste of the home I miss.
Keep me there forever, never let me go.
For I would, O Lord, be thine.

I know I am never alone.
Do not let me forget.
For as I journey here below,
I need thee ever more.

Take, and keep my soul forever.
For I would, O Lord, be thine.
