Captain of Israel's Host

Captain of Israel’s host, and Guide

Of all who seek the land above,

Beneath Thy shadow we abide,

The cloud of Thy protecting love;

Our strength, Thy grace; our rule, Thy Word;

Our end, the glory of the Lord.

By Thine unerring Spirit led,

We shall not in the desert stray;

The light of man’s direction need

Or miss our providential way;

As far from danger as from fear,

While Love, almighty Love, is near.
