Thy CARE preserves our spirit
When we journey through mist, fog or tempest
In this valley of tears,
Remember storm clouds soon pass away;
And this valley can instead be our Spring,
A fountain of Living Water to us bring;
If we lean on our Beloved Saviour
Walking through its wilderness with HIM.
Our LORD has promised to be
A very present help in trouble
Trust HIS steadfast word;
Believe the waters will not overflow
Believe the fires will not burn;
And our LORD JESUS will turn mourning
Into dancing.
In affliction, glorify HIS NAME
Say to HIM: ‘Thy care preserves our spirit’
The HOLY SHEPHERD will protect
All who call HIS HOLY NAME;
All who ask for HIS ALMIGHTY POWER
To overcome, for the battle belongs to HIM.
Seek refuge under HIS protective wings
Sustained by the strength of HIS JOY;
Seek GOD’s glorious FACE
And armed with HIS LOVING GRACE,
Run the spiritual race
Looking towards the glory that should follow;
Safely then, shall we pass through tribulations in the world
To reach HIS safe harbour of LOVE, PEACE and ETERNAL JOY.
