Written in hospital the night after having a stroke
Tune: Eventide, Abide with me

Hold us in love
Enfold us in your arms
Guide us through troubles
Keep us safe from harm
Please let our fellowship
Stay strong and true
Hold us in love
And hold us close to you

Lighten our darkness
Be our beacon still
Comfort those grieving
Heal and help the ill
And let your mercy
Rest on those who strive
Lighten our darkness
Keep the flame alive

Shepherd your flock
Teach us to know the way
Gently redeem us
When we go astray
Bring us together
Don’t leave us alone
Shepherd your flock
And bring us safely home
