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.
