And art thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost thou proclaim thyself our God,
Our God forever near?
Doth thy right hand, which formed the earth,
And bears up all the skies,
Stretch forth on high its friendly aid,
When dangers round us rise?
Doth thou a father's bowels feel
For all thy humble saints?
And in such tender accents speak,
To soothe their sad complaints?
On this support our souls shall lean,
And banish every care;
The gloomy vale of death will smile,
If God be with us there.
While we his gracious succour prove,
‘Midst all our various ways,
The darkest shades, through which we pass,
Shall echo with his praise.
