Text:
Christ is our Guardian,
Keeping from harm.
Christ is Protector,
By His mighty arm.
Christ is our Hero,
Exemplar of right.
He saved us from darkness,
Bringing us light.

CHORUS
Constant companion,
His love like a flame,
He will always be with us.
Praise to His Name.

Christ is our Mentor,
Guiding from youth.
Christ is our Beacon,
Leading to the truth.
Christ is our Savior,
He suffered for sin,
He opened our prisons,
Freed us again.

Christ as our Justice,
Mercifully reigns.
Christ as our Ruler,
Blesses His domain.
Christ as the Builder
Of heaven and earth,
A mansion prepares of
Infinite worth.
