Refrain: Then despite ev’ry foe, let us cheerfully go, Wherever our Saviour may need us; He’ll protect us thro’ life, and when ended the strife, To the mansions above he will lead us. 2 Tho’ the pathway be rough, and our strength not enough For the journey that still lies before us, We shall yet reach the end, for we’ve Christ for a Friend, And a Father in heav’n to watch o’er us. [Refrain] 3 In the night, as the day, Christ our Guide knows the way, By the hand he securely will hold us; And when dangers affright, will defend with his might, Or within his strong arms will enfold us. [Refrain] 4 When the journey is done, and the goal has been won, And our Home has been reach’d to leave never; Then with new pow’rs endued, and with old pow’rs renewed, We will serve thee, blest Saviour, forever.
