Lyrics:

Christ ever before me, ever behind me, always in me
Though I was blind, his eye was on me
always pursuing, caused me to see
Christ, first in the battle, his will to conquer the evil in me
A shield now is he, ever protecting
the sheep of his pasture, supplying our needs
When I arise, my eyes are fixed on thee, bound to thee
When I lay down, may he still keep me,
Christ is keeping me
Christ’s might will uphold me,
his wisdom will guid me to behold things unseen
Thine own word is ever consuming,
then ever renewing each word that I speak
When I arise, my eyes are fixed on thee, bound to thee
When I lay down, may he still keep me,
Christ is keeping me
When I arise, my eyes are fixed on thee, bound to thee
When I lay down, may he still keep me,
Christ is keeping me
