The Unfailing One

He who hath led

will lead

All through the wil­der­ness;

He who hath fed

will sure­ly feed;

He who hath blessed

will bless;

He who hath heard thy cry

Will nev­er close His ear;

He who hath marked thy faint­est sigh

Will not for­get thy tear.

He who hath made thee whole

Will heal thee day by day;

He who hath spok­en to thy soul

Hath ma­ny things to say;

He who hath great­ly taught

Yet more will make thee know;

He who so won­drous­ly hath wrought

Yet great­er things will show.

He who hath made thee nigh

Will draw thee near­er still;

He who hath giv’n the first sup­ply

Will sa­tis­fy and fill;

He who hath giv’n thee grace

Yet more and more will send;

He who hath set thee in the race

Will speed thee to the end.

He who hath won thy heart

Will keep it true and free;

He who hath shown thee what thou art

Will show Him­self to thee;

He who hath bid thee live

And made thy life His own

Life more abun­dant­ly will give

And keep it His alone.

Then trust Him for to­day

As thine un­fail­ing friend

And let Him lead thee all the way

Who lov­eth to the end.

And let the mor­row rest

In His be­lov­èd hand;

His good is bet­ter than our best

As we shall un­der­stand.
