[Enter'd on the vast wilderness]
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, &c.
—xiii. 22.
Enter'd on the vast wilderness,
Jesus, Thy helpless people see,
With comfort and protection bless
Thy gospel-church, redeem'd by Thee;
A cloud by day, a fire by night,
Defend us with Thy heavenly light.
Jesus, Thy helpless people see,
With comfort and protection bless

Defend us with Thy heavenly light.
Take not the sacred signs away,
The tokens of Thy guardian power;
Preserved by night, refresh'd by day,
Baptized in many a gracious shower,
Cover us with Thy cloudy shrine,
And in Thy fiery column shine.
The tokens of Thy guardian power;
Preserved by night, refresh'd by day,
Baptized in many a gracious shower,
Cover us with Thy cloudy shrine,
And in Thy fiery column shine.
To all believers visible,
Who in Thy pardoning love confide,
With us Thou promisest to dwell,
And to that pleasant country guide,
Where Israel finds, of Thee possess'd,
The land of everlasting rest.
Who in Thy pardoning love confide,
With us Thou promisest to dwell,
And to that pleasant country guide,
Where Israel finds, of Thee possess'd,
The land of everlasting rest.
