When we shall walk through death's dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 Oh, may He soon to every nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o'erthrown And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Used With Tune: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE
