[Verse 1]
Lord, let me dwell with Thee each day,
Far from the paths of sin, I pray;
Who dwells with God lives not his own,
He lives the life his Lord has shown.
[Verse 2]
He who lives by God's will is strong,
Evil shall never rule his soul;
But he whose heart serves flesh and sin
Is dead to all the things of God.
[Verse 3]
If foes should lay their hands on you,
At last, your glory falls in shame;
Where anger lives, there hatred grows,
And Satan joins more sin to sin.
[Verse 4]
These fiends seek partners in their work,
They move in bands to work their harm.
So God gave laws to guide His own,
That sin might never rule their lives.
[Verse 5]
All who would live in God the Son
Must leave the ways that please the world;
To love the world is war with God,
Yet God made not the world for sin.
[Verse 6]
Then learn to bear the life you have,
Know God has laid no weight on you;
He seeks the best that lies in you,
To draw your soul back home to Him.
