      C
Be my staple and my stay
      F                 C
Jesus help through each day
     C 
As I walk this weary way
        G
Upon my soul
         C 
And when judgement falls to me
           F               C
Through my saviour shall I be
      C            G 
Given peace eternally
        C
Upon my soul


Chorus 1:
        F
Upon my soul
        C
Upon my free and joyous soul
      C            G
Given peace eternally
        C
Upon my soul


Jesus shine your light on me
Shine with love and charity
That I might help brothers see
Upon my soul
For temptation let me ply
Be my wings, Lord, be my eyes
Guard me when old Satan's nigh 
Upon my soul

Chorus 2:
Upon my soul
Upon my free and joyous soul
Guard me when old Satan's nigh 
Upon my soul


I shall fill each earhly day
With the singing of his praise 
Follow in his holy ways
Upon my soul
And when I lay my troubles down
On my brow he'll place a crown
And the trumpets all shall sound
Upon my soul

Chorus 3:
Upon my soul
Upon my free and joyous soul
And the trumpets all shall sound
Upon my soul
