Our God is light:
and though we go
Across a trackless wild,
Our Saviour's footsteps
ever show
The path for every child.
At every step afresh we prove
How sure our heavenly Guide;
The faithful and forbearing love
That never turns aside.
Thou weariest not,
most gracious Lord,
Though we may weary grow;
In season, the sustaining word
Thou giv'st our hearts to know.
Death's bitter waters
met our thirst,
Thy cross has made them sweet;
Then on our gladdened vision burst
God's shady, cool retreat.
The manna and
the springing well
Suffice for every need;
And Eshcol's grapes the story tell
Of where Thy path doth lead.
