535. Though Gloomy grows the Night

1 Though gloomy grows the night,
God is for me!
He leads, all must be right,
God is for me!
Lonely my path may be;
Teach me Thy way to see,
Then shall I sing of Thee,
God is for me!

2 Though heart or flesh may fail,
God is for me!
By Him I shall prevail,
God is for me!
Held by His loving arm,
I fear not Hell’s alarm,
To me can come no harm;
God is for me!

3 In Christ, the blessèd One,
God is for me!
The everlasting Son,
God is for me!
Led by His piercèd hand
Along this weary land
Up to the golden strand:
God is for me!

4 And when amid the throng,
God is for me!
I sing heaven’s thrilling song,
God is for me!
As in Thy light I shine,
The joy, the rapture, mine,
The glory shall be Thine:
God is for me!
