By Faith in Christ I Walk with God
John Newton • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 3:8
Verse 1
By faith in Christ I walk with God, With heaven, my journey's end, in view; Supported by His staff and rod, My road is safe and pleasant, too.
Verse 2
Though snares and dangers throng my path, And earth and hell my course withstand, I triumph over all by faith, Guarded by His almighty hand.
Verse 3
The wilderness affords no food, But God for my support prepares, Provides me every needful good, And frees my soul from wants and cares.
Verse 4
With Him sweet converse I maintain; Great as He is, I dare be free; I tell Him all my grief and pain, And He reveals His love to me.
Verse 5
Some cordial from His word He brings, Where'er my feeble spirit faints; At once my soul revives and sings, And yields no more to sad complaints.
