89. And art thou with us, gracious Lord

1 And art Thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost Thou proclaim Thyself our God,
Our God for ever near?

2 Doth thy right hand, which form'd the earth,
And bears up all the skies,
Stretch from on high its friendly aid,
When dangers round us rise?

3 And wilt thou lead our weary souls
To that delightful scene,
Where rivers of salvation flow
Through pastures ever green?

4 On thy support our souls shall lean,
And banish ev'ry care;
The gloomy vale of death will smile,
If God be with us there.

5 While we his gracious succour prove,
'Midst all our various ways
The darkest shades, thro' which we pass,
Shall echo with his praise.
