LyicsAnd art thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost thou proclaim thyself our God,
Our God forever near?
Dost thou a father's bowels feel
For all thy humble saints?
And in such friendly accents speak,
To smooth their sad complaints?
Why droop our hearts? Why flow our eyes
While such a voice we hear?
Why rise our sorrows and our fears,
While such a friend is near?
To all thine other favors add
A heart to trust thy word;
And death itself shall hear us sing
While resting on the Lord.
