241. Savior, Through the Desert Lead Us

8,7.
by T. Kelly
1
Savior, through the desert lead us,
 
Without Thee we cannot go;
 
Thou from cruel chains hast freed us,
 
And hast laid the tyrant low:
 
Let Thy presence
 
Cheer us all our journey through.
2
Through a desert waste and cheerless,
 
Though our destined journey lie,
 
Rendered by Thy presence fearless,
 
We may every foe defy:
 
Naught shall move us,
 
While we see Thee, Savior, nigh.
“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.” (Acts 20:24)
3
With a price Thy love has bought us,
 
(Savior, what a love is Thine!)
 
Hitherto Thy power has brought us,
 
(Power and love in Thee combine):
 
Lord of glory,
 
Ever on Thy household shine.
