Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#298

298. It's Said That Life Is With Danger Fraught

1 It's said that life is with danger fraught
And that we may in its billows perish
Before we enter the haven sought
And reach the home which we cherish.

2 And true it is that the night may come
With storm and darkness to vex the spirit
Before we safely shall reach our home
And shall God's blessing inherit.

3 But tho' we know we are small and poor
And ever lowly is our condition,
To noble visions we still may soar
And gain our highest ambition.

4 For He is with us, the mighty Lord,
And bears us forth as on eagle pinions
Until our souls by His grace restor'd
May brave all evil dominions.

5 He strengthens us by His mighty hand
On earth and even when death appalls us,
Until as victors with Him we stand,
And to His glory He calls us.
