I.
'I am with thee!' He hath said it
In His truth and tender grace;
Sealed the promise, grandly spoken.
With how many a mighty token
Of His love and faithfulness.
II.
He is with thee!--In thy dwelling,
Shielding thee from fear of ill;
All thy burdens kindly bearing,
For thy dear ones gently caring,
Guarding, keeping, blessing still.
III.
He is with thee!--In thy service
He is with thee 'certainly,'
Filling with the Spirit's power,
Giving in the needing hour
His own messages by thee.
IV.
He is with thee!--With thy spirit,
With thy lips, or with thy pen;
In the quiet preparation,
In the heart-bowed congregation,
Nevermore alone again!
V.
He is with thee!--With thee always
All the nights and all the days;
Never failing, never frowning,
With His loving-kindness crowning,
Tuning all thy life to praise.
VI.
He is with thee!--Thine own Master,
Leading, loving to the end;
Brightening joy and lightening sorrow,
All to-day, yet more to-morrow,
King and Saviour, Lord and Friend.
VII.
He is with thee!--Yes, for ever,
Now, and through eternity;
Then with Him for ever dwelling,
Thou shalt share His joy excelling,
Thou with Christ, and Christ with thee!
[The end]
