1 It's said that life is with danger fraught And that we may in its billows perish Before we enter the haven sought And reach the home which we cherish. 2 And true it is that the night may come With storm and darkness to vex the spirit Before we safely shall reach our home And shall God's blessing inherit. 3 But tho' we know we are small and poor And ever lowly is our condition, To noble visions we still may soar And gain our highest ambition. 4 For He is with us, the mighty Lord, And bears us forth as on eagle pinions Until our souls by His grace restor'd May brave all evil dominions. 5 He strengthens us by His mighty hand On earth and even when death appalls us, Until as victors with Him we stand, And to His glory He calls us. | Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) #298 (1928) Hymnal for Church and Home #298 (1927) |
