551. O stay with us, Lord Jesus

1 O stay with us, Lord Jesus,
among us with your grace,
that Satan may not harm us,
and we may live in peace.

2 Stay with us, our Redeemer,
among us with your word,
that we may know your goodness
and faith in you be stirred.

3 Stay with your heavenly brightness
among us, precious light;
your truth keep us from error;
surround us with your might.

4 Stay with your richest blessings
among us, bounteous Lord;
let us in grace and wisdom
grow daily through your word.

5 Stay here with your protection
among us, Lord our strength,
and let the world and Satan
be overcome at length.

6 O stay, our faithful Saviour,
among us with your love;
grant steadfastness, and help us
to reach our home above.
