2 He raiseth the fallen, He cheereth the faint;
The weak and oppressed, He will hear their complaint;
The way may be weary, and thorny the road,
But how can we falter? our help is in God.

3 And to His green pastures our footsteps He leads;
His flock in the desert how kindly He feeds!

The lambs in His bosom He tenderly bears,

And brings back the wanderers all safe from the snares,

Though clouds may surround us, our God is our light;
Though storms rage around us, our God is our might;
So faint, yet pursuing, still onward we come;
The Lord is our leader, and heaven is our home.

Rev. J. N. Darby, 1858

451

Always with us, al-ways with us, Words of cheer and words of love;

Thus the ris- en Sav-iour whis-pers, From His dwell - ing-place a bove. A-men.

3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round?
On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.

4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.

5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.

6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.

Bishop EDWARD BICKERSTETH, 1870

For all the servants of our King In earth and heav'n are one. A-men.

Men once like us with suffering tried, But now with glo- ry crowned. A-men.
