13581. I Cannot Walk In Darkness Long

1 I cannot walk in darkness long,
My Light is by my side;
I cannot stumble or go wrong
While following such a guide.

2 He is my stay and my defense,
How shall I fail or fall?
My keeper is Omnipotence;
My Ruler ruleth all.

3 The powers below and powers above
Are subject to His care;
I cannot wander from His love,
Whose love is everywhere.
