169. The Prospect

1 I cannot see before me
What may my steps betide,
But God's own eye is o'er me,
And he can seas divide.

2 Tho' danger may beset me,
The God of power's my friend,
And he will never let me
Need care, and not defend.

3 Tho' Satan's hosts defy me,
My God is more than they,
And help he'll not deny me,
While I his will obey.
