Live within my heart, O Lord!
Dwell with me, I pray;
Guide my every thought and word,
Never let me stray.
I would look on life through thee,
All its joy and woe;
All its lessons I then should see,
Where, and how to go.
Darkness would be changed to light,
Woe to joy would turn;
Tears no more would dim my sight,
Sin I then should spurn.
Blessed charity would shine,
All around me then;
Every action be like thine,
To my fellow men.
