Thou whose hand did lead Thy chos­en peo­ple
Through the de­sert on their pil­grim way,
In Thy mer­cy grant us now Thy bless­ing,
Jesus help us all to watch and pray.

Refrain

Father, Thou art pure and ho­ly, ho­ly,
May our hearts Thy tem­ple be,
O, make us hum­ble, meek and low­ly,
Poor in spir­it, Sav­ior, more like Thee.

Give us wa­ter from the sac­red fount­ain,
While we jour­ney in a thirs­ty land;
Strong in Thee no earth­ly foe can harm us,
Thou our rock on which we firm­ly stand.

Refrain

Gentle Sav­ior, Thou wilt ne­ver leave us,
Still from dan­ger and from storm de­fend,
Sweet the pro­mise to Thy faith­ful child­ren,
Thou wilt guide and keep them to the end.

Refrain

Though we pass the dark and roll­ing ri­ver,
Thou wilt bear us safe­ly to the shore;
We shall praise Thee in the vales of Ed­en,
With the saints and an­gels ev­er­more.
