Text: Be with me Lord, and speed me on my way, Thou who didst speed the way of the Wise men by the leading of a star. I could not lightly pass through the same gateways, Sleep where they had slept, wake where they waked. I was the Dreamer, they the Dream. If thy Presence go not with me, Let the stars come out the clouded heaven. Blot out O Lord as a thick cloud of night our transgressions, And bring us safely home again.
