100. "I Will Uphold Thee"

1 O promise sweet! He leadeth me
O’er waters wild and deep;
I will not fear the raging sea
If He my soul doth keep.

Refrain
I will trust in the promise of my Saviour,
I will trust in the promise of my Saviour,
I will trust in the promise of my Saviour,
And He will lead me home.

2 Sometimes He leads o’er mountain height,
Or valleys dark and drear.
Yet worn and weary in the night,
His blessed voice I hear. [Refrain]

3 Sometimes He leads by waters still,
Where all is peace and love,
And quiet joys my bosom fill
Like that sweet rest above. [Refrain]

4 It matters not if shadows lie
Upon my pathway here,
A golden light illumes my sky,
If only God is near. [Refrain]

5 O glorious Light! I'll follow thee,
Wherever thou may'st shine,
At home, abroad, on land or sea,
No other joy is mine. [Refrain]
