Hast thou brought me, gracious Lord,
Far into the wilderness?
May I here in safety dwell,
Still supported by they grace:
Feel thy presence day by day,
Grateful own thy sovereign sway.
Safely thence may I return,
Aided by thy mighty power;
Patient and submissive wait,
‘Tis arrive that welcome hour:
Then my soul shall feel enlarged,
And from bondage be discharged.
But should’st thou appoint my stay,
let me never grieve nor fear;
Deserts all are fruitful plains,
If my gracious Lord be there;
let the promise in thy word,
Sacred joy and peace afford.
Achor’s valley then to me,
Shall a door of hope be found;
Though amidst a dreary waste,
I with comforts shall abound:
Happy, whether here or there,
If the Lord in love appear.
