--------------------------------------------------------------
Should my heart not be humble,
should my eyes fail to see,
Should my feet sometimes stumble
on the way, stay with me.
Like the lamb that in springtime
wanders far from fold,
Comes the darkness and the
frost, I get lost, I grow cold.
I grow cold, I grow weary, and I
know I have sinned,
And I go seeking shelter and I
cry in the wind,
And though I grope and I blunder
and I kneel and I'm wrong,
Though the rose buckles under
where I walk, walk along
Till I find to my wonder every
task least to see,
Or that I can do it, pray, stay
with me.
Stay with me.
