God, my supporter and my hope, My help for ever near, Thine arm of mercy holds me up, And saves me from despair.

Verse 2

Thy counsels, Lord, shall guide my feet, Through this dark wilderness; Thy hand conduct me near Thy seat, To dwell before Thy face.

Were I in heaven without my God, 'Twould be no joy to me, And while this earth is my abode, I long for none but Thee.

Verse 4

What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint? God is my soul's eternal rock, The strength of every saint.

Verse 5

Amen.
