Exert for us Thy migh­ty power:
They bring me but near­er to Thee.
Round our ha­bi­ta­tion.
Be Thou then our el­der bro­ther,
Slumbers not and nev­er sleeps.
Th’al­migh­ty ev­er liv­ing Friend.
Now and for­ev­er dwell Thou in me;
Constantly near wher­ev­er I go,
Shielding your foot­steps, di­rect­ing your way;
Oft as trou­ble raised its cry,
Soldiers for Je­sus, hap­py are we;
Praise the Lord in joy­ful num­bers:
Fulfill, O Lord, Thy co­ve­nant,
start
We lift our hearts above;
Without Thee we fal­ter and wan­der as­tray;
Faith, hope, and life will fail.
When night stills ev­en the lark.
Wherever we may be,

Unseen, yet for ev­er at hand;
Guide us still, let Thy will
Hail, the Day­spring of sal­va­tion;
Shade for thee He will af­ford;
Thou art each ten­der name in one.
Draw me and keep me clos­er to Thee.
Gives me a joy the world can­not know;
Leading His child­ren where still wa­ters glide.
From His sec­ret place He came,
Trust in His mer­cy, change­less, di­vine;
At the will of your de­fend­er
For in the earth are dark ab­odes
Unseen, yet for­ev­er at hand,
For all His ten­der love;
And guide Thou our feet till life’s jour­ney shall end.
Thy con­stant aid im­part,
I’ll shel­ter in its em­brace.
We love and wor­ship Thee.
Long his faith­ful friend and guide,
