African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#370

370. By Faith in Christ

1 By faith in Christ I walk with God,
With heaven, my journey's end, in view;
Supported by His staff and rod,
My road is safe and pleasant, too.

2 Though snares and dangers throng my path,
And earth and hell my course withstand,
I triumph over all by faith,
Guarded by His almighty hand.

3 The wilderness affords no food,
But God for my support prepares,
Provides me every needful good,
And frees my soul from wants and cares.

4 With Him sweet converse I maintain;
Great as He is, I dare be free;
I tell Him all my grief and pain,
And He reveals His love to me.

5 Some cordial from His word He brings,
Where'er my feeble spirit faints;
At once my soul revives and sings,
And yields no more to sad complaints.
