Walking with | SermonIndex

Verse 1

By faith in Christ I walk with God, With heav'n, my journey's end in view; Supported by his staff and rod, My road is safe and pleasant too.

Verse 2

I travel through a desert wide,

Verse 3

Where many round me blindly stray;

Verse 4

But he vouchsafes to be my guide,

Verse 5

And will not let me miss my way.

Verse 6

Though snares and dangers throng my path,

Verse 7

And earth and hell my course withstand,

Verse 8

I triumph over all by faith,

Verse 9

Guarded by his almighty hand.

Verse 10

The wilderness affords no food,

Verse 11

But God for my support prepares;

Verse 12

Provides me ev'ry needful good,

Verse 13

And frees my soul from wants and cares.

Verse 14

With him sweet converse I maintain,

Verse 15

Great as he is, I dare be free,

Verse 16

I tell him all my grief and pain,

Verse 17

And he reveals his love to me.

Verse 18

Some cordial from his word he brings

Verse 19

When'er my feeble spirit faints;

Verse 20

At once my soul revives and sings,

Verse 21

And yields no more to sad complaints.

Verse 22

I pity all that worldlings talk

Verse 23

Of pleasures that will quickly end;

Verse 24

Be this my choice, O Lord, to walk

Verse 25

With thee, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend!
