The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#419

419. Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God

1 Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God;
And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;
And peace, like the dewdrop, shall fall on thy head;
And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed.

2 Acquaint thyself quickly, O sinner, with God;
And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad,
Thy Safeguard in danger that threatens thy path,
The Joy in the valley and shadow of death.
