A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ALONE

I live alone, dear Lord, stay by my side

In all my daily needs be thou my guide.

Grant me good health, for that indeed, I pray

To carry on my work form day to day.

Keep pure my mind, my thoughts, my every deed

Let me be kind, unselfish in my neighbours need.

Spare me from fire, from flood, malicious tongues

From thieves, from fear and evil ones.

If sickness or an accident befall

Then humbly, Lord I pray hear thou my call.

And when I’m feeling low, or in despair,

Lift up my heart and help me in my prayer.

I live alone, dear Lord, yet have no fear,

Because I feel your presence ever near.
