Oh Lord my God,
You have watched over me in many trials.
Day and night you have met me on my path,
Your presence has sheltered me in the dark night,
@@@when silence and solitude have battered at me.
Even when the follies of the world
@@@have shaken my footing,
You stay here with me, Oh God.
Let me never forget Your blessings;
@@@they have followed me through many days and months,
@@@even through the years.
Through all the challenges of childhood,
@@@Your hand has guided me.
Through all the yearnings of youth,
@@@Your wisdom taught me.
Through all the wrestling of work days,
@@@Your love sustained me.
May I continue to walk with You, Oh Lord,
@@@Companion and Teacher.
Lead me to Your purposes.
Let my eyes stay set on You always, wherever I may be.
