We travel through a barren land,
With dangers thick on every hand;
But Jesus guides us through the vale;
O, The Christian’s hope can never fail.
Huge sorrows meet us as we go,
And devils aim to overthrow;
But vile infernals can’t prevail;
O, The Christian’s hope shall never fail.
Sometimes we’re tempted to despair,
But Jesus makes us then His care;
Though numerous foes our souls assail;
O, The Christian’s hope can never fail.
We trust upon the sacred word,
The oath and promise of the Lord;
And safely through each tempest sail;
O, The Christian’s hope can never fail.
–from the Gadsby Hymnal
hey. the guy who wrote the new tune the THAT one goes to MY church! :)
I know! I really like this one. We sang it again yesterday.
oh, yeah. I guess I told you that already, didn’t I? :)
Our church sang a couple of hymns from the Gatsby hymnal yesterday. I’d never heard these songs before, and I was amazed. I’m looking around on the web for a copy of the hymnal. Any suggestions?
