Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #78 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And art thou with us, gracious Lord,
To dissipate our fear?
Dost thou proclaim thyself our God,
Our God for ever near?
2 Doth thy right hand, which form'd the earth,
And bears up all the skies,
Stretch from on high its friendly aid,
When dangers round us rise?
3 And wilt thou lead our weary souls
To that delightful scene,
Where rivers of salvation flow
Through pastures ever green?
4 On thy support our souls shall lean,
And banish ev'ry care;
The gloomy vale of death shall smile,
If God be with us there.
5 While we his precious succour prove,
'Midst all our various ways,
The darkest shades, thro' which we pass,
Shall echo with his praise. Topics: Providence of God; Trust in the promises of God
And art thou with us, gracious Lord
