May His mercy always keep you
From the wicked and the vain-hearted
People who'd deceive you
And lead you into shame

May His Spirit always keep you
From the crooked deeds of night
As He strengthens you with power
And leads you to the light

May God bless and always keep you
Whether near or far away
May you always turn to Jesus
With His kind and loving ways

Through your troubles, He will take you
On His word, you can depend
That He never will forsake you
He'll stick closer than a friend
