Everlasting Love

Dangerous is the path we go,

In this wilderness below,

Savage beasts, of every kind,

Aiming to distress the mind.

Christ the Master, LORD of all,

Bids His children watch and call;

May it be our blessed case,

Both to watch and seek His face.

Scarce an hour but pilgrims see

They from danger are not free;

In some unexpected way,

Something fills them with dismay.

Thus beset, they daily feel

They have neither strength nor skill

Rightly to oppose the foe,

Or to guard against the woe.

When we watch, then may we pray,

And in prayer watch every day;

And with pleasure ever prove

All our strength is from above.

Thus supported, we shall be

More than conquerors, LORD, through Thee;

And when every danger's past,

Live and reign with Thee at last!

 

-Tune: "Everlasting Love"
