Verse 1
Christ be in my waking
As the sun is rising
In my day of working
With me ev'ry 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

Chorus 1
Jesus this is my devotion
All my life to know You
Ev'ry 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 3
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 4
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

Verse 5
Christ be in my waking
as the sun is rising,
in my day of working
with me ev'ry hour.
Christ be in my resting
as the day is ending....
