Thou Lord, our Guard, our Light, our Way,
What dangers shall our souls dismay?
God of our life! whom need we fear,
When foes assault, it Thou art near?
One wish, with holy transport warm,
Our hearts have formed, and yet shall form;
One thing we ask;—to spend our days
In Zion’s courts with prayer and praise.
Though every earthly friend depart,
And love forsake a parent’s heart,
The Lord, on whom our hopes depend,
Will prove a Father and a Friend.
Ye trembling saints! in every strait
On God with sacred courage wait:
---- will life and strength afford:
---- then daily on the Lord.
