We walk by Faith, and not by Sight.
We walk by faith, and not by sight;
And if we ever go astray,
Do Thou, O Lord! conduct us right,
And lead us in our onward way.
And if we ever go astray,
Do Thou, O Lord! conduct us right,
And lead us in our onward way.
124
Onward from earth to heaven we go;
And, gently guided, Lord! by Thee,
The path which is begun below
Conducts to immortality.
And, gently guided, Lord! by Thee,
The path which is begun below
Conducts to immortality.
And though it wear a transient gloom,
Though darkness on our steps attend—
E'en though it lead us through the tomb,
Its course is bliss, and heaven its end.
Though darkness on our steps attend—
E'en though it lead us through the tomb,
Its course is bliss, and heaven its end.
