I shall be safe, whatever betide

Representative Text

1 Jesus, my Saviour, I know that thou art
With me to-day, with me to-day,
Keeping, controlling, and filling my heart;
Oh, with me stay, with me stay.

Refrain:
I shall be safe, whatever betide,
I shall be happy, whate’er is denied;
Yes, I shall be perfectly satisfied,
If thou wilt abide with me.

2 Satan will flee when he sees that thou art
With me to-day, with me to-day,
I shall defy his most venomous dart;
Oh, with me stay, with me stay. [Refrain]

3 I have the victory, glory to God!
With me to-day, with me to-day,
All my transgression is under the blood;
Oh, with me stay, with me stay. [Refrain]

4 Now here on earth is my heaven begun,
With me to-day, with me to-day,
Come, Holy Spirit, come, Father and Son;
Oh, with me stay, with me stay. [Refrain]
