E174. With God and His Mercy

1 With God and His mercy, His Spirit and Word,
And loving communion at altar and board,
We meet with assurance the dawn of each day:
The Shepherd is with us,
The Shepherd is with us,
To lead and protect us and teach us the way.

2 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear,
Tho' none of my kindred that emblem may wear,
I joyfully follow the champions of right,
Who march on to glory,
Who march on to glory,
Who march on to glory, with weapons of might.

3 The Pillar that guides us thro' peril and strife,
The Rock that is cleft, giving waters of life,
Is Christ and His cross. By His Spirit and Word,
The heart He refreshes,
The heart He refreshes,
The heart He refreshes, our Saviour and Lord.

4 O Shepherd, abide with us; care for us still,
And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will;
And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be,
Our thanks and our praises,
Our thanks and our praises,
Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee.
