1 We travel through a barren land,
With dangers thick on every hand;
But Jesus guides us through the vale,
Our hope shall never fail,
Our hope shall never fail.
2 Deep sorrows meet us as we go,
The tempter seeks our overthrow;
But never shall his arts prevail,
Our hope shall never fail,
Our hope shall never fail.
3 Sometimes he tempts us to despair,
But Jesus makes us then his care;
Whatever griefs our souls assail,
Our hope shall never fail,
Our hope shall never fail.
4 We trust in God’s unchanging word,
The oath and promise of our Lord;
And safely through each tempest sail,
Our hope shall never fail,
Our hope shall never fail.
