Christ Be In My Waking

Verse 1

Christ be in my waking

As the sun is rising

In my day of working

With me every hour

Christ be in my resting

As the day is ending

Calming and refreshing

Watching through the night

Verse 2

Christ be in my thinking

And my understanding

Guarding me from evil

Walking in the light

Christ be in my speaking

Every word a blessing

Pure and not deceiving

Grace to all who hear

Verse 3

Jesus, this is my devotion

All my life to know You

Every day to walk with You

Saviour, You’re my deepest longing

You’re the one I live for

Teach me, Lord, to walk with You

Verse 4

Christ be in my gladness

For the joy of living

Thankful for the goodness

Of the father's hand

Christ be in my sorrow

In my day of darkness

Knowing that I follow

In the steps He trod

Verse 5

Christ when hope has faded

Nothing left to cling to

Every pleasure jaded

Every well is dry

Christ the loving shepherd

Draws me with His kindness

Leads me from the desert

To the streams of life
