Be Thou my Guardian and my Guide; And hear me when I call; Let not my slippery footsteps slide, And hold me lest I fall. The world, the flesh, and Satan dwell Around the path I tread; O, save me from the snares of hell, Thou Quickener of the dead. And if I tempted am to sin, And outward things are strong, Do Thou, O Lord, keep watch within, And save my soul from wrong. Still let me ever watch and pray, And feel that I am frail; that if the tempter cross my way, Yet he may not prevail.
