I cannot tell if short or long

Verse 1

I cannot tell if short or long My earthly journey be; But, all the way, I know thy rod And staff will comfort me.

Verse 2

Though fierce temptations lie in wait, What need have I to care? Thou wilt not suffer them to hurt Beyond my strength to bear.

Verse 3

What storms may beat, what burdens fall, My soul would not avoid; Who follows thee, O Lord, may be Cast down, but not destroyed.

Verse 4

Though over steep and rugged ways My weary feet be brought, Still following where thy footprints lead, I take no anxious thought.

Verse 5

Oh, perfect peace! oh, endless rest! No care, no vain alarms; Beneath my every cross I find The Everlasting Arms.
