490. I Want Jesus to Go with Me

1 I want Jesus to go with me;
I want Jesus to go with me;
All along my pilgrim journey,
O I want Jesus to go with me.

2 In my trials, O comfort me;
in my trials, O comfort me;
When my heart is almost breaking,
O I want Jesus to comfort me.

3 When I’m in trouble, O stay with me;
When I’m in trouble, O stay with me;
When my head is bowed in sorrow,
O I want Jesus to stay with me.
