I will guide you through the hazards of the night

I will hold your trembling hand

Mine the reassuring shoulder

Me the one to understand

 

Nothing asked in recompense

Proud that I could offer help

Stronger bonds empower the friendship

Thoughts of others not of self

 

We shall fight the fight together

Raise our voices, sing as one

‘Til the world around rejoices

Come sweet repose, our day is done
