The Preacher
The world has never known me bid them hearMy word it speaks will they but hear its voice
I will uphold thee banish every fear
And in my name alone fore'er rejoice
Thou hast been by my Holy Spirit led
And it shall lead you still as gently on
Till thou hast on the word I give you fed
And in my name the crown of life have won
Come hasten on thou shalt not want for I
Will be your guide your rest and your defence
132
And to my Father's house will lead you hence
Put on thine armor daily fight with me
And you my glory soon in joy shall see.
Poem No. 606; fall 1838–summer 1839
