16632. God Will Aid

1 God will aid His chos­en peo­ple;
Trust His grace so full and free;
Know His heart is ev­er beat­ing,
Throbbing with true love for thee.
Though you’re wan­der­ing in the de­sert,
Pilgrim, through a wea­ry land,
Trust His love to aid and help thee—
God will aid His chos­en band.

2 Love and hope must be thy watch­word,
Faith thy burn­ing bea­con be;
Though the light may burn but dim­ly,
It will ne’er ex­ting­uished be;
Should’st thou feel thy hope de­sert thee,
Grasp His ev­er out­stretched hand;
Trust His love to aid and help thee—
He will save His chos­en band.

3 Can ye trust? The ten­der ra­di­ance
Of His love shall nev­er dim;
Though through night and dark­ness lead­ing,
Let thy foot­steps fol­low Him;
Thou art safe, though clouds and tem­pests
Threaten thee on ev­ery hand;
Trust His grace to aid and help thee—
He will aid His chos­en band.
