Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue. And, while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me; Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 4 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission; Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.

With salvation's walls surrounded, you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply your sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which God gives them on their way. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name. Fading are the world's vain pleasures, all their boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Used With Tune: BLAENWERN
