Christ be before me, behind me, beside

10.10.10.10

Christ be before me, behind me, beside
Christ to restore me, to guard and to guide
Christ in my waking and Christ when I sleep
Christ in my sunshine and Christ when I weep

Christ be my life and my soul’s great reward
Christ in the strife as my shield and my sword
Christ be my fortress when Satan would prey
Christ to surround me by night and by day

Christ be the source of the faith I defend
Christ be the course that I run to the end
Christ be my vision, the glory I see
Christ be my heaven when death sets me free
