1. Walk beside me, blessed Jesus,
Thou who understanding sees us,
Only Thou who like is tempted
Can in pity love us, empty.
Walk beside me, Savior.

2. Thou who knows my well of sorrow,
Give me hope of a tomorrow,
Where my tears of sad regretting
Are all dried in the forgetting.
Dry my tears then, Savior dear.

3 Tempted as we, without sinning,
Such a High Priest understanding,
Oh, with boldness we are coming
To find help and mercy flowing.
O uphold me, Savior dear.

4. Some who walk beside will leave me,
Some will blame and not believe me,
O Thou always true defender,
O Thou friend of friendless sinner.
Stay beside me, Savior dear.

5. Youth will grow grey hair and falter,
Health will fail and prospects alter,
O Thou Fount of life everlasting,
Bear me in Thy bosom resting.
Bear me ever, Savior dear.
