1 You carried your cross for us each day Teaching us the sacrificial way
Doing God’s will with filial love Inviting us all to follow you
2 Father of Love you save and feed us Through and with your Son divine
He is our Lord. who always defends us From subtle Pride and the evil one
REFRAIN
Dear Lord help us
To persevere to follow thee
In dying with me I’ll set you free
To live forever with the Father and me In resplendent joy and divine ecstasy
3 Through Him and with Him and in Him in the Love of the Holy Spirit
we give you all praise dear Father
with all the angels and saints in heaven
4 Walking behind you protect us Going ahead you lead us on
And from beneath, you uphold us And from above pour down grace
REFRAIN
5 May all see you who see us
May all who hear us hear your voice
May all who know us know you
May all seeking love & truth find you
6 You purify us and prune us back
You know what we need and what we lack
In times of distress and under attack
You perfect us as you did your son
REFRAIN
