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.

I travel through a desert wide

Where many round me blindly stray;

But He vouchsafes to be my guide,

And will not let me miss my way.

Though snares and dangers throng my path,

And earth and hell my course withstand;

I triumph over all by faith,

Guarded by His almighty hand.

The wilderness affords no food

But God for my support prepares;

Provides me every needful good

And frees my soul from wants and cares.

With Him sweet converse I maintain,

Great as He is I dare be free;

I tell Him all my grief and pain,

And He reveals His love to me.

Some cordial from His Word He brings

Whene'er my feeble spirit faints;

At once my soul revives and sings,

And yields no more to sad complaints.

I pity all that worldlings talk

Of pleasures that will quickly end;

Be this my choice, O Lord, to walk

With Thee, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend.
