Representative Text

1 Along life’s path I hasten on,
No foe or snare I fear.
I know I do not walk alone,
For Christ is always near.

Refrain:
I’m kept by the pow’r of God,
I’m kept by the pow’r of God,
I fear no foe, because I know
I’m kept by the pow’r of God.

2 Tho’ Satan’s hosts may gather round
To draw me from the way;
My Savior’s grace will still abound,
He will not let me stray. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ friends with whom I lived in sin
Have ceased for me to care,
I still possess sweet peace within,
The best of friends is there. [Refrain]

4 And when, at last, unto the end
Of earthly life I come,
I shall not fear, for Christ my friend,
Will wait to lead me home. [Refrain]
