Lord, by thy Spirit and thy word,
Guide us in that delightful way,
In which thy saints have ever trod,
Which leads to realms of endless day.
If enemies beset us round,
Our spirits raise, our strength renew;
If thorns and briars infest the ground,
Help us to force a passage through.
3. If earth and hell their powers unite,
Render their mighty efforts vain,
That we receive no lasting hurt,
Though we may feel some present pain.
Thy succour grant in times of need,
In health and sickness, life and death;
Then shall we live to thee indeed,
With joy at last resin our breath.
