I live alone, dear Lord
Stay by my side
In all my daily needs
Be thou my guide.

Grant me good health
For that indeed I pray
To carry on my work
From day to day.

Keep pure my mind, my thoughts
My every deed,
Let me be kind and unselfish
In my neighbor's need.

Spare me from fire, from flood
Malicious tongues.
From thieves,
From fear and evil ones.

If sickness or
an accident befalls
Then humbly, Lord
I pray hear thou my call.

And when I'm feeling low
Or in despair
Lift up my heart
And help me in my prayer.

I live alone, dear Lord
Yet have no fear
Because I feel
Your presence ever near.
