O Lord, our guardian and our guide

O Lord, our guardian and our guide,
be near us when we call;
uphold us when our footsteps slide,
and raise us when we fall.

2. The world, the flesh and Satan dwell
around the path we tread:
O save us from the snares of hell,
Deliverer from the dead!

3. If we are tempted into sin,
and evil powers are strong,
be present, Lord, keep watch within
and save our souls from wrong.

4. Still let us always watch and pray,
and feel that we are frail;
that if the tempter cross our way,
yet he shall not prevail.
