O Iosa, bi ’n còmhnaidh Air m’aire gach uair Mo chobhair, mo chridhe, mo bheatha, mo dhuais. Bi rium an dlùth chomann, Nam inntinn a ghnàth, Is treòraich mo cheuman Le èifeachd do ghràis As t’aonais, O Iosa, Mo bheatha gun stàth; As t’aonais, O Iosa, Tha m’fhoghar gun ghràn; As t’aonais, O Iosa, Mo ghnìomhan gun fheum - O soillsich mo ròidean Le lòchran do chrèid. O Iosa, mo Shlànair Na fàg mi ‘son uair; Nad reul bi dhomh, deàrrsach An sgàthan mo smuain - ’S Tu m’acarsaid shàbhailt’ Bho ghàbhadh na stuagh; Mo dhìdean, mo chombaist, Mo chompanach buan. Dèan dachaigh nam chridhe, O Iosa, mo ghaol; Dèan dachaidh nam thuigse, Nam mheomhair, nam smaoin: Biodh t’ainm-sa gu sìoraidh Air bilean mo bheòil - O Iosa, na trèig mi Rè rèis mo bhith-bheò.

O Jesus be always On my mind at every hour My help, my heart My life, my prize Be a close companion to me In my mind always And guide my steps Under the influence of your grace Without you, O Jesus My life is useless Without you, O Jesus My autumn is without grain Without you, O Jesus My deeds are all useless O illuminate my paths With a lantern of your faith O Jesus my Savior Don’t leave me even for an hour Be a star to me, shining In the mirror of my thoughts You are my safe anchorage From the peril of the breakers; My refuge, my compass, My everlasting companion Make a home in my heart O Jesus my love Make a home in my understanding In my memory, in my thoughts Let your name be always On the lips of my mouth O Jesus don’t abandon me Throughout the span of my existence
