Jesus, if thou vouchsafe to guide,
We will thy followers be;
Nor earth nor hell shall e’er divide,
Our steadfast souls from thee.
If foe assail on every hand,
And threaten to devour;
Lord, in thy strength we’ll boldly stand,
Nor dread their boasted power.
Should we be called to take the cross,
The cross we’ll gladly bear;
Through death’s dark valley, when we pass,
No evil will we fear.
Leaning upon the arm we love,
The strength in which we trust,
We’ll press to reach the world above,
The mansions of the just.
No longer groveling here below,
Our souls shall mount on high;
Where streams of mercy ever flow,
And God is ever nigh.
