He hath said, whose word abideth,
He, the Life, the Truth, the Way;
Whatsoever thee betideth
I am still thy strength and stay.
I will guide thee, I, thy Saviour,
All thy pilgrimage below;
Thou shalt realize My favor
And My strength in weakness know.
Never shalt thou lack sustainment
While thou passest on thy way;
E’en such things as food and raiment
I will give thee day by day.
Leave then all to My providing,
Thou shalt know My constant care;
Ever in My love abiding,
I will all thy burdens bear.
Thee I’ve loved from everlasting,
And I would that thou shouldst know,
While on earth, the rest of casting
On Me all thy cares and woe.
Nor will I, thy Lord, forsake thee,
Well I’ve proved My constant love;
Soon I’ll come again to take thee
To My home prepared above.
