By Faith in Christ I Walk with God

Walking with GOD by John Newton


 * By faith in Christ I walk with God,
 * With Heav’n, my journey’s end, in view;
 * Supported by His staff and rod,
 * My road is safe and pleasant too.


 * I travel through a desert wide
 * Where many round me blindly stray;
 * But He vouchsafes to be my Guide,
 * And will not let me miss my way.


 * 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.


 * The wilderness affords no food,
 * But God for my support prepares;
 * Provides me every needful good,
 * And frees my soul from wants and cares.


 * 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.


 * Some cordial from His Word He brings,
 * Whene’er my feeble spirit faints;
 * At once my soul revives and sings,
 * And yields no more to sad complaints.


 * I pity all that worldlings talk
 * Of pleasures that will quickly end;
 * Be this my choice, O Lord, to walk
 * With Thee, my Guide, my Guard, my Friend.
