In the series: Hymns for a Changing World.

This hymn has as its title (and opening line of each verse) the very short but beautiful prayer shared by the new Bishop of Salford with his clergy and parishioners.

The sound sample (final verse) is sung by the Parish Priest and Congregation of St Joseph's RC Church, Darwen, Lancashire

Verse 1:
Stay with us, Lord, on our journey,
Close at the dawn of each day.
Share in our hopes, share in our dreams,
Help us to find our way.
Be with us, Lord, in our gladness,
Strengthened with you at our side,
Safe in your hands, safe in your love,
Safe with you truth as guide...

...Final Verse:
Stay with us, Lord, on our journey,
Close when your peace is in sight.
Fill us with joy, welcome us home,
Home to eternal light.
Lead us, O Lord, to your Kingdom,
Strengthened with you at our side,
Safe in your hands, safe in your love,
Safe with your truth as guide.
