I need you lord
To strengthen my actions
To guide my ways
And to direct my footsteps
Thou o lord are my strength
My shield, my stronghold
My refuge, my fortress
My companion, my hope
For with you I can do everything
Without you I can do nothing
O, come to us, abide with us
O, lord Emmanuel
You're the true light
That shineth forever
No other illuminant source
Can outshine you.
I fear no evil
For thou art with me
Thy staff gives me comfort
Even in the presence of my foes
By thy cross you crushed principality
With thy blood you blotted out my sins
Through your resurrection you conquered death
And gave life to the simple.
I acknowledge you to be the lord
I praise you still, for everything
I give you thanks for your great glory
Most of all for the manifestation of your wonders
