10*. Though Dark Be Our Way, Since God Is Our Guide

10s or 11s.
by J. Newton
1
Though dark be our way, since God is our Guide,
 
’Tis ours to obey; ’tis His to provide:
 
Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail,
 
The word He hath spoken shall surely prevail.
2
His love in times past forbids us to think
 
He’ll leave us at last in trouble to sink:
 
The Lamb in His glory is ever in view,
 
The pledge and the proof He will help us quite through.
3
And since all we meet must work for our good,
 
The bitter is sweet, the medicine is food:
 
Though painful at present, ’twill cease before long,
 
And then how triumphant the conqueror’s song!
