Salvation’s Captain, and the Guide
 
Of all that seek the rest above,
 
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
 
The cloud of Thy protecting love;
 
Our strength Thy grace, our rule Thy Word,
 
Our end the glory of the Lord.
“For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” (Hebrews 2:10)
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1)
“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” (2 Timothy 2:1)
“NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
“Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.” (Psalm 119:133)
“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 24)

Lord, by Thy Word and Spirit led,
 
We shall not in the desert stray,
 
Or light for our direction need,
 
Or lose, if dark and drear, our way;
 
Still kept from danger and from fear,
 
Since Thy almighty love is near.
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.” (John 16:13)
