Be a smooth way before me

Be a smooth way before me,

Be a guiding star above me,

Be a keen eye behind me,

This day, this night, forever.

I am weary and I am forlorn,

Lead me to the land of the angels;

I think it is time I went for a space

To the court of Christ, to the peace of heaven;

If only you, O God of life,

Be at peace with me, be my support,

Be to me as a star, be to me as a helm,

From my lying down in peace to my rising anew.
