Lyrics

O trembling soul, thy Lord is near,
To lead thee all the way,
Above the mists of doubt and fear,
Let faith prevail today.

Refrain

That have I given to thee,
That have I given to thee;
Every place where thy foot shall tread,
That have I given to thee.

Thy portion by thy Fa­ther’s hand
Has been prepared for thee;
Go up at once, possess the land,
And thine ’twill surely be.

Refrain

Thy God shall gird thee with His might,
To conquer every foe;
The enemy shall take his flight,
And vic­to­ry thou shalt know.
