Be Thou My All

Author: Emma C. Dowd Meter: 11.10.11.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Be Thou my friend, my close companion ever Lyrics: 1 Be Thou my friend, my close companion ever; Earth’s paths diverge as comrades onward wend; Friends may depart, but Thou, O leave me never! Be Thou my friend, be Thou my friend. 2 Be Thou my strength, for I am full of weakness; In Thee alone can I be strong at length; Help me to lean on Thee in trust and meekness; Be Thou my strength, be Thou my strength. 3 Be Thou my life: no other one can feed me; I, weary, faint, so worn with pain and strife; Where living waters flow, O gently lead me; Be Thou my life, be Thou my life. 4 Be Thou my all; for terrors oft enfold me, The vasts of Thy great universe appall; Closer to Thy dear heart, yet closer hold me! Be Thou my all, be Thou my all. Used With Tune: TOOWONG Text Sources: Echoes of Paradise (Boston: Charles H. Woodman, 1903)
