Lyics

IN heav'nly love abiding,

No change my heart shall fear;

And safe is such confiding,

For nothing changes here.

The storm may roar without me,

My heart may low be laid,

But God is round about me,

And can I be dismay'd?



Wherever He may guide me,

No want shall turn me back;

My Shepherd is beside me,

And nothing can I lack.

His wisdom ever waketh,

His sight is never dim;

He knows the way He taketh,

And I will walk with Him.



Green pastures are before me,

Which yet I have not seen;

Bright skies will soon be o'er me,

Where the dark clouds have been.

My hope I can not measure,

My path to life is free;

My Saviour has my treasure,

And He will walk with me.
