BE Thou with us every day,

In our work and in our play, When we learn, and when we pray. Hear us, Holy Jesu.

2 When we lie asleep at night,
Ever may Thy angels bright
Keep us safe till morning's light.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

3 Make us brave without a fear,
Make us happy, full of cheer,
Sure that Thou art always near.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

4 May we prize our Christian name,
May we guard it free from blame,
Fearing all that causes shame.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

5 May we grow from day to day, Glad to learn each holy way, Ever ready to obey.

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

6 May we ever try to be
From our sinful tempers free,
Pure and gentle, Lord, like Thee.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

7 May our thoughts be undefiled, May our words be true and mild, Make us each a holy child.

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

8 Jesu, Son of God most high,
Who didst in a manger lie,
Who upon the cross didst die.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

9 Jesu, from Thy heavenly throne,
Watching o'er each little one,
Till our life on earth is done.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

10 Jesu, whom we hope to see,
Calling us in heaven to be
Happy evermore with Thee.
Hear us, Holy Jesu.
