1 And art thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost thou proclaim thyself our God,
Our God forever 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 On this support our souls shall lean,
And banish every care;
The gloomy vale of death shall smile,
If God be with us there.
4 While we thy gracious succour prove
'Midst all our various ways
The darkest shades through which we pass
Shall echo with thy praise.
