By faith in Christ I walk with God
With heav’n, my journey’s end, in view
Supported by His staff and rod
My road is safe, and pleasant too
By faith in Christ I walk with God
With heav’n, my journey’s end, in view
Supported by His staff and rod
My road is safe, and pleasant too
I travel through a desert wide
Where many round me blindly stray
But He vouchsafes to be my guide
And will not let me miss my way
Though snares and dangers throng my path
And earth and hell my course withstand
I triumph over all by faith
Guarded by His almighty hand
The wilderness affords no food
But God for my support prepares
Provides me every needful good
And frees my soul from wants and cares
With Him sweet converse I maintain
Great as He is I dare be free
I tell Him all my grief and pain
And He reveals His love to me
Some cordial from His Word He brings
Whene’er my feeble spirit faints
At once my soul revives and sings
And yields no more to sad complaints
I pity all that worldlings talk
Of pleasures that will quickly end
Be this my choice, O Lord, to walk
With Thee, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend
