3. Walking With God

1 By faith in Christ I walk with God,
With heav'n, my journey's end in view,
Supported by his staff and rod,
My road is safe and pleasant too.

2 I travel through a desert wide,
Where many round me blindly stray;
But he vouchsafes to be my guide
And will not let me miss my way.

3 Though snares and dangers throng my path,
And earth and hell my course withstand;
I triumph over all by faith,
Guarded by his Almighty hand.

4 The wilderness affords no food,
But God for my support prepares;
Provides me ev'ry needful good,
And frees my soul from wants and cares.

5 With him sweet converse I maintain,
Great as he is, I dare be free;
I tell him all my grief and pain,
And he reveals his love to me.

6 Some cordial from his word he brings,
Where'er my feeble spirit faints,
At once my soul revives and sings,
And yields no more to sad complaints.

7 I pity all the worldling's talk
Of pleasure that will quickly end;
Be this my choice, O Lord to walk
With thee, my guide my guard, my friend.
