[Captain of Israel's host, and Guide]
The Lord went before them by day, &c.
—xiii. 21.
Captain of Israel's host, and Guide
Of all who seek that land above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love,
Our strength Thy grace, our rule Thy word,
Our end, the glory of the Lord.
Of all who seek that land above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love,
Our strength Thy grace, our rule Thy word,
Our end, the glory of the Lord.
By Thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray,
The light of man's direction need,
Or miss our providential way,
As far from danger as from fear,
While Love, almighty Love, is near.
We shall not in the desert stray,
The light of man's direction need,
Or miss our providential way,
As far from danger as from fear,
While Love, almighty Love, is near.
