on;

[4]Yet doubts still intervene,
And all my comfort flies;
Like Noah's dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies.
3 [5]" Forever with the Lord!”
Father, if 't is thy will,

The promise of thy gracious word
E'en here to me fulfil.

[6] Be thou at my right hand,

So I shall never fail :

Uphold me, and I needs must stand;
Fight, and I shall prevail.

4 [7]So, when my latest breath

Shall rend the veil in twain,

By death I shall escape from death
And life eternal gain.

[8] Knowing "as I am known,"

How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

I O STAR of truth, down shining
Through clouds of doubt and fear,

I ask but 'neath thy guidance
My pathway may appear:
However long the journey,
How hard soe'er it be,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

2 I know thy blessed radiance
Can never lead astray,
However ancient custom

May tread some other way;
E'en if through untrod deserts,
Or over trackless sea,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

3 The bleeding feet of martyrs
Thy toilsome road have trod;
But fires of human passion

May light the way to God:
Then, though my feet should falter,
While I thy beams can see,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

4 Though loving friends forsake me,
Or plead with me in tears;
Though angry foes may threaten,
To shake my soul with fears,
Still, to my high allegiance.

I must not faithless be;
Through life or death forever,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

277.

I ROLL on, thou mighty ocean,
And, as thy billows flow,
Bear messengers of mercy
To every land below.
Arise, ye gales, and waft them.

Safe to the destined shore,

That man may sit in darkness

And death's black shade no more.

2 O thou eternal Ruler,

Who holdest in thine arm

The tempest of the ocean,

Protect them from all harm! Thy presence, Lord, be with them Wherever they may be ;

Though far from those who love them, Still let them be with thee.
