Darby Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 3:14 First Line: Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way Lyrics: 1 Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way; The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay; Tho' suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near, The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we fear? 2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint; The weak, and oppressed--he will hear their complaint; The way may be weary, and thorny the road, But how can we falter?--our help is in God! 3 And to his green pastures our footsteps he leads; His flock in the desert how kindly he feeds! The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears, And brings back the wanderers all safe from the snares. 4 Though clouds may surround us, our God is our light; Though storms rage around us, our God is our might; So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come; The Lord is our Leader, and heaven is our home!

I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move, till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.
