Lord Jesus Christ, abide in us,
that we may abide in you.
With you as our Shepherd,
we shall not fear or be dismayed.
Who will separate us from your love?
Neither hardship nor distress,
persecution nor nakedness,
famine nor peril nor sword;
and neither shall any be missing.
On you we were cast from our birth.
Since our mothers bore us
you have been our Savior.
Be not far from us when trouble is near.
