Dear Lord bless my friends today
Wherever they may be
Help them go along their way
And keep their trust in Thee.

Hear each prayer that's raised Lord
Please dry each falling tear
Be with them constantly
For Lord my friends are dear.

Surround them with your mercy
Protect them by your power
Let them feel your presence Lord
Every day, every lonely hour.

Guide them when the road is steep
When no one seems to care
Surround them in your loving keep
Please whisper, "I am there."

Give them strength to bear the cross
As through the vale they go
Stand by them in every loss
Your presence let them know.

And when at last the hour shall be
That life's short journey ends
Let them lean even more on thee
Please comfort Lord, my friends.

Open heaven's gate, dear Lord
Please let them enter there
For they will be so happy Lord
That other friends are there.
