245. We travel through a barren land

1 We travel through a barren land,
With dangers thick on every hand;
But Jesus guides us through the vale;
The Christian’s hope can never fail.

2 Huge sorrows meet us as we go,
And devils aim our overthrow;
But vile infernals can’t prevail;
The Christian’s hope shall never fail.

3 Sometimes we’re tempted to despair,
But Jesus makes us then his care;
Though numerous foes our souls assail,
The Christian’s hope shall never fail.

4 We trust upon the sacred word –
The oath and promise of our Lord;
And safely through each tempest sail;
The Christian’s hope shall never fail.
