Captain of Israel’s host, and guide
Of all who seek the land above,
Beneath Your shadow we abide,
The cloud of Your protecting love;
Our strength Your grace, our rule Your Word;
Our end, the glory of the Lord.
By Your unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray,
we shall not full direction need,
nor miss our providential way;
As far from danger as from fear,
While love, almighty love, is near.
