36. The Lord Is with Me

1 What though life’s mysteries surround me,
Life’s problems baffle and confound me,
What though life’s griefs distress and wound me,
The Lord is with me, is with me now!

Refrain:
The Lord is with me, in me abideth!
The Lord is with me my fear is o’er
My soul in safety in him now hideth,
The Lord is with me evermore.

2 My friends with thoughtless words may grieve me,
In days of trouble scorn and leave me;
One Friend remains, he’ll still receive me,
The Lord is with me, is with me now!

3 When comforts flee, he still abideth;
Earth’s refuge vain, my soul he hideth;
Fearless in him my soul confideth,
The Lord is with me, is with me now! [Refrain]

4 The Lord is with me! is defending
When sin’s allure my heart is rending;
Thro’ time, through ages long, unending,
The Lord is with me, is with me now! [Refrain]
