In life or death, Lord Jesus Christ,
be all in all, I pray;
your life, your death make known in me
on earth, till heaven’s day.
2. In sun or shadow be my help;
your voice shall guide my feet;
teach me by your incisive word,
your work in me complete.
3. In calm or crisis be my hope
and take my mind in hand;
so shall I trust you, even where
I cannot understand.
4. In loss or profit be my joy,
my hours for you be spent;
I can do all things in your strength,
so shall I be content.
5. In risk or safety be my friend;
I place my hand in yours,
with you to rest, or wait, or walk,
or run with all my powers.
6. O Christ my help, my hope, my joy,
my all-enduring friend;
all that I am belongs to you
who loved me to the end.
