From sin's dark, thorny maze,
To Canaan's fertile plains,
A travelling fair one, in distress,
On her beloved leans.
Through fire and flood she goes,
A weakling more than strong—
Vents in his bosom all her woes,
And, leaning moves along.
When dangers round her press,
And darkness veils the skies,
She leans upon his righteousness,
From whence her hopes arise.
When guilt, a mighty flood,
Her trembling conscience pains,
Then on his peace-procuring blood
This travelling fair one leans.
She views the cov'nant sure;
Her hopes all centre there;
And on his bosom leans secure,
Whose temples bled for her.
O'er Jordan's chilling flood,
When called by death to go,
She, leaning on her cov'nant God,
Shall pass triumphant through.
