Author: Miss H. O. Knowlton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #453 (1890) First Line: I cannot tell if short or long Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell if short or long
My earthly journey be;
But, all the way, I know thy rod
And staff will comfort me.
2 Though fierce temptations lie in wait,
What need have I to care?
Thou wilt not suffer them to hurt
Beyond my strength to bear.
3 What storms may beat, what burdens fall,
My soul would not avoid;
Who follows thee, O Lord, may be
Cast down, but not destroyed.
4 Though over steep and rugged ways
My weary feet be brought,
Still following where thy footprints lead,
I take no anxious thought.
5 Oh, perfect peace! oh, endless rest!
No care, no vain alarms;
Beneath my every cross I find
The Everlasting Arms.
