Blessèd Jesus, day by day,
Keep me at the foot of the cross;
Let me from it never stray,
Keep me at the foot of the cross.
Refrain
Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Keep me at the foot of the cross;
Jesus, blessèd Jesus,
Keep me at the foot of the cross.
I am prone to leave Thy side,
Keep me at the foot of the cross;
Let me, Lord, in Thee abide,
Keep me at the foot of the cross.
Refrain
When I’m tempted, be Thou near,
Keep me at the foot of the cross;
I can dwell in safety there,
Keep me at the foot of the cross.
Refrain
When my work on earth is done,
Keep me at the foot of the cross;
May I praise Thee on Thy throne,
Keep me at the foot of the cross.
