Representative Text

1 I'll go in the strength of the Lord,
in paths He has marked for my feet:
I'll follow the light of His Word,
nor shrink from the dangers I meet.
His presence my steps shall attend,
His fullness my wants shall supply;
on Him, till my journey shall end,
my unwav'ring faith will reply:

2 I'll go in the strength of the Lord,
to work He appoints me to do;
in joy which His smile doth afford
my soul shall its vigor renew.
His wisdom shall guard me from harm,
His pow'r my sufficiency prove;
I'll trust His omnipotent arm,
and prove His unchangeable love.

3 I'll go in the strength of the Lord,
to conflicts which faith will require;
His grace as my shield and reward,
my courage and zeal shall inspire.
Since He gives the word of command,
to meet and encounter the foe,
with His sword of truth in my hand,
to suffer and triumph I'll go.

4 I'll go in the strength of the Lord,
in paths He has marked for my feet;
I'll follow the light of His Word,
nor shrink from the dangers I meet.
